In short: Livingston pupils train on the actual Livingston DVSA Test Centre routes, with one instructor, in one car. The M8 corridor and the Almondvale streets are part of the plan, not an afterthought.

If you're just outside Livingston — say edinburgh, falkirk — pickup still works on the same route plan.
