Sorry hadn't seen that but thanks for your reply.Flying back from Majorca to Newcastle next Wednesday. Any recommendations or advice regarding PCR day 2 test. Live in Stainton if that helps. Thank you.
I really believe these 2 day tests are a rip off. Basically you are paying for a code to put on your passenger locator form. A few months ago Boots lost my 2 day test despite postal tracking proving they received it.If you have the option to take antigen take that instead of the PCR. It's cheaper and unfortunately may turn out to be more accurate, they are looking into suspicious negative PCR tests in the South West at the moment, there may be a considerable amount of them.
My own experience of PCR test for day 2 was arriving back at Exeter Airport from Spain, walking into the testing marquee just outside of the terminal and then waiting at least 3 days for the results which I had to chase up.
They lost my sons girlfriends test. Still hasnt had a result weeks after getting back. They are cheap and as has been said your only really paying for the code for the PLF.Randox for day 2, spot on. Results back next day.
Used Randox a couple of months ago and dropped it off at Park view. Flying back to the UK tomorrow and have booked Randox again. £43.00I'm using Randox £43 each and you can drop them off at Park View Medical Centre on Marton Road.
You don’t have an option to take an antigen test. The law, and your passenger locator form and therefore ability to travel, still requires PCR.If you have the option to take antigen take that instead of the PCR.

You don’t need a pre-travel test, just post and that will be reduced to antigen in a couple of weeks.There’s a site in Darlington behind Morrison’s that do them.
that’s where I’m going for my pre and post checks
No you don’t need to do it before you go (I’ve been here six weeks and the rules have never stayed the same for that long anyway!). But you’re right you need to order the test online and use the reference number on the locator form before you come back, we just did it all from here online.Thought you need to book your day 2 return test before you go, so that you have booking ref num for UK passenger locator form which you have to fill in 48 hrs before you land in UK
Have used Randx and dropped of on Longlands, spot on for £43
It's the code beginning with RANDX....the forms are quite thorough so do them soberNo you don’t need to do it before you go (I’ve been here six weeks and the rules have never stayed the same for that long anyway!).

Hint! If you use Randox (don’t know about others) the reference number you need is in the body of the text, not the number in the title of the email or header, which means nothing to anyone and your locator form will spit it out.
They only require you to purchase a PCR test to be able to travel back.You don’t have an option to take an antigen test. The law, and your passenger locator form and therefore ability to travel, still requires PCR.
