Thanks, this was really helpful. I arrived at FRAport just after 6am this morning, and was in the queue for the normal 12 hour test at 6:15 having paid online for it yesterday. By 7am I was back down on the regional Bahnhof platform waiting for the S8/S9 back to the city. The queue at 6:15 looked huge, but things did move pretty quickly. But when I left, there was almost no queue at all!

Now it is just a case of waiting to see if the results are the 8-12 hours that was predicted (fingers crossed they are negative too!).

And if anyone else is thinking of having the PCR done, no eating or drinking at least 15 minutes beforehand!
