1. By car

From A14 J44 (Moreton Hall) follow A134 / A143 into town, keep left onto Angel Hill / Parkway, then north on St Andrews Street North; Tritron House is opposite the Fire Station car‑park. Use the public pay‑and‑display (first 20 min free) and reverse‑bay‑park in the DVSA‑signed bays.

2. By public transport

• Bus 86 / 86A (Coach Services) every 30 min between Stowmarket, West Suffolk Hospital and the bus‑station.
• Bus 12 / X16 (Stephenson’s) Cambridge ↔ Bury St Edmunds, stopping two‑minutes’ walk away on St Andrews Street North.
• Rail – Bury St Edmunds station (Ipswich ↔ Cambridge line) is 0.7 mi NW; about 12 min on foot via Station Hill & St John’s Street.

3. Cycling / walking

NCN Route 13 passes Abbey Gardens; leave at Mustow Street and follow cycle lanes to the bus‑station. Covered racks sit by the cinema entrance—bring a lock.

‍

1. A14 eastbound 50 → 30 camera

Mobile vans wait on the Moreton Hall off‑slip: ease off before the first 40 mph repeater.

2. Parkway gyratory spiral lanes

Four exits with fast flow—pick a lane 150 m out and hold about 25 mph to avoid drifting.

3. Shenley Road mini‑roundabouts

Three circles in 250 m; stay in 2nd gear (18–20 mph) and mirror‑signal on every exit.

4. Eastgate Street parked‑car chicanes

Priority often mis‑judged—scan two gaps ahead, yield early, glide through.

5. Fire‑station forecourt pull‑out

Appliances block sight‑lines; creep‑and‑peep, then accelerate smartly into the 30 mph flow.

‍

1. About Bury St Edmunds from a Learner’s View

No waiting room or toilets—use the bus‑station loos beforehand. Reverse‑bay‑park in the public car‑park; examiners may use that bay for your manoeuvre. Parallel parking often happens on Guildhall Street. First pull‑out is downhill into a 20 mph zone—practise smooth clutch‑control roll‑offs.

2. What to Expect on the Day

• Arrive 10 min early with your provisional.
• Eyesight check at 20 m.
• 1 show‑me / tell‑me question.
• 1 reversing manoeuvre (bay or parallel) and possibly an emergency stop.
• ≈ 20 min independent driving via sat‑nav or signs.
  Examiners watch MSM discipline closely on the Parkway spiral and A14 merge.
