This is the longest route at the St Helens (Liverpool) test centre, covering 18.01 km in about 31.8 minutes from Pocket Nook out to Haresfinch, Billinge, Simm's Lane End, Ashton-in-Makerfield and Haydock. Limits run from 20 mph in town to 60 mph on the open stretches like Rainford Road. With only 14 signals over that distance, it leans on rural road craft more than stop start junction work.

Watch Out For

  • Long 60 mph sections on roads such as Ashton Road, with bends and changing surfaces.
  • The drop from open road back to 30 mph entering villages like Billinge.
  • The single roundabout, giving way to the right and signalling left on exit.

Route Features

  • An 18.01 km loop, the widest geographic spread of any route here.
  • A balanced 4 left and 4 right turns over a long drive.
  • Roads including Tithebarn Road and Liverpool Road.

Test Manoeuvres

  • A pull up on the left near Pocket Nook, choosing a safe legal spot and stopping close to the kerb.

Key Tips

  • Hold a steady position and good observation on the longer 60 mph roads.
  • Slow in good time as the limit drops on the approach to each village.
