For example, there were appointments bookable this week for period 21 July to 1 August for every day in Belfast and for two days in Glasgow. If I were to book an appointment and a flight, what do you rate my chances of getting there to make the appointment?

i emailed my MP a week ago explaining the situation. Next to useless. But totally expected from a failed Transport Minister.

He said that the problem is that people did not renew during the pandemic and are now all trying to do so at once. His advice is to wait and apply when the summer holiday season is over!

Good luck!
