1. About Barrow in Furness Test Centre from a Learner’s View

Set on Phoenix Road near the shopping park, Barrow’s centre provides limited parking and wheelchair access. Expect tight industrial‑estate bends before emerging onto the A590 dual carriageway toward Dalton.

2. What to Expect on the Day

Turn up ten minutes early. After the eyesight check and a vehicle‑safety question, you’ll attempt one manoeuvre—bay parking if a space is free, otherwise parallel parking—and maybe an emergency stop. Independent‑driving often heads for the fast Walney Road flyover, so rehearse speed transitions.

3. After You Pass

Results go digital and the licence usually appears within two weeks. Consider Pass Plus on the M6 link at Burton‑in‑Kendal and grab black‑box quotes.
