The questions can change.
They are normally the same (ish) but no guarantee.
If you know Consett, Stanley, Moorside, shotley, Delves and the 68 way you will be OK.
They also ask you about law and legislation.

In General its landmarks, main offices, sports center's and shops

I have not sat the test as it was intyroduced well after my time but I have assisted drivers in a guided tour of the area.

The weekend work is from Consett but the private hire squads have the job knackered due to them pricing jobs at peanuts. Making our job as hacks hard when we run our meter's as we are supposed to do.
So when you hit the button on your meter to accept a hire expect sh1t from the punters that pay half from the PH offices.

Stay clear of the unions they are a waste of time.

PS: I have a spare 6 seater for sale plated up and ready to roll if you need to buy a car.....
2004 reg 6 seater with six tariffs on the meter.
Car low milage, top hat meter and in car CCTV.

PM me if you need anything else.

Regards Steve

Oh and you will also be asked what route to take to places outside the area.
Airports, Train Stations etc::::
And a few A to B's within the area.

Cheers Steve
