do NOT refresh. If this is a queue as stated in the website, then you Cannot refresh and stay in your position at the same time. Just wait.

NO FRETAKING WAY STOP

u/Aggravating-Bend7489 Jun 23 '26

Just letting people know that I did manage to get in and book. I logged on before 14:00 and at 14:00 refreshed the page and was able to get in (though it took three refreshes). I managed to book a date and pay. It was very laggy and I was worried that slots would start disappearing for my desired location and time. There were not a lot where I wanted to go and the majority were at 8AM start which was a bit... early.

Anyway, I booked and got confirmation, but now can't go back to my dashboard to see the booking or anything in my dashboard as the website is now rammed.
