When you travel to the centre, you will need to aim towards High St. We recommend you to allow more time for your journey as something unexpected could happen during your journey.

Here is some travel advice:

Walking: If walking, you can get public transport if you live on the outskirts of the town or outside of Galashiels.

By Car: If you are driving to the theory test centre in Galashiels, the A7 carriageway is what connects Galashiels to the north and southeast of the town with other places like Tweedbank nearby.

By Bus: If you are travelling by bus, the bus station or the Galashiels Transport Interchange is located nearby. From there, you can walk for at least 3 minutes to arrive at the theory test centre.

By Train: When travelling by train, the train station is north of the test centre, over the Water Gala river.

Make sure you bring your provisional licence with you to your theory test appointment. Otherwise, you will NOT be able to sit for your theory exam.
