Route 1977 covers 10.7 miles in about 40 minutes, one of the two longest drives at this test centre. It leaves Hexham on Corbridge Road, works through Dilston and Anick, and returns past Rotary Way. Limits range from 20 to 60 mph. Seven roundabouts and an even split of nine left and nine right turns make it one of the busiest here for junction work.

Watch Out For

  • Seven roundabouts, among the higher counts at this centre.
  • Tinkler's Bank, steep and narrow with limited view ahead.
  • Four sets of traffic lights in the town section.
  • Eighteen turns in total, so mirror and signal routine has to stay consistent for 40 minutes.

Route Features

  • Extended 60 mph rural driving between Hexham and the Corbridge side.
  • Village streets at 30 mph around Stagshaw Road, narrowed by parked cars.
  • 20 mph restricted roads through the town centre.

Test Manoeuvres

Key Tips

  • Over 40 minutes, most faults appear late, so keep the observation routine identical at the last roundabout as at the first.
