Are the routes officially published?

Not since 2010 — DVSA stopped publishing them. But the routes follow predictable patterns we know.

Will the examiner change the route on me?

Routes are picked by the examiner from a set list — you don't get to know which one until you start driving.

How many routes does Glasgow (Baillieston) use?

Roughly 8–12 active patterns. We drill the most common ones first.

What we focus on for test route training in Glasgow

Specific Glasgow (Baillieston) loops repeated until familiar

Heavy school-run congestion around Knightswood, Pollok and Shawlands — the bit that catches out pupils trained elsewhere

Identifying the manoeuvre locations within each route

Independent driving sections on the typical sat-nav routes

Anniesland routes typically push you onto Crow Road and out toward Drumchapel; Shieldhall routes use the Govan Road and Helen Street loop; Baillieston routes lean on the dual carriageway out toward Easterhouse and the M73 slip.

Knowing the routes isn't cheating — examiners assume you've driven the local area before the test. The pupils who haven't are the ones who freeze at a junction they've never seen.

Who this is for: Pupils 1–2 weeks out from a Glasgow (Baillieston) test, recent failures wanting route refresh.
