Hi,
I need to go back to the UK for 4 days, I know I don't need a test now before I travel, but what about the day 2 test, is that for travellers who are staying in the UK, what if we are travelling back to Spain on day 4 ?

Everybody needs the day 2 test. You will not be allowed to fill in your forms if you do not have a QR code.
The only exceptions are those in transit who must not leave the port of entry or are transiting direct to another port within 24 hours.

I would say the good times are coming to an end for a lot of those businesses now Fred. So it's a case of supply and demand. Drop your price or your competitors will get the business. Prices like €4, €28 and €40 have been quoted on here. Naturally enough people will go for the cheapest one.

If you are only going for 4 days, the liklihood of the test results returning to you is nil, so really you only need the serial number to go on the locator form to prove you have booked the test. My neighbour was in the UK, took the day two test and it was 5 days before she got her result.

The Cheapest Day 2 PCR test is with Eurofins. Its £20 for a self test. You drive to the testing centre in Warrington do the test and leave it with them. They email your results 24 hours later.....
Or, to put it another way.
The Cheapest Day 2 PCR reference unmber you can buy for your UK locator form is £20 with Eurofins.
Its entirely up to you what you do with it once you get into the UK
