Dane Road Local Area Guide

Lessons around the Dane Road area use real local roads including School Road, Northenden Road and Dane Road, so by the time you're ready for your test you've already driven the streets you'll use every day after passing. The Dane Road tram stop began life as a railway station opened in 1931 by the Manchester, South Junction and Altrincham Railway, before closing to trains in 1991 and reopening as a Metrolink stop in 1992.

We also plan around school-run traffic near Sandilands Primary School and St Anne's CE Primary School, using quieter spots like Worthington Park for early manoeuvre practice before stepping up to busier sections of School Road.

Test centre: most learners around the Dane Road area test at Sale (Manchester) Driving Test Centre, 36-38 Poplar Grove, Sale, M33 7ER; mock tests are planned around the routes examiners actually use from there.
