A lateral flow test is a home test.
They are free to order and are not regulated like a pcr test.
So batter away, you will be fine.
If you need a serial no. Of a lateral flow test, pm me and ill help you out
Better still, I can give you one of the unused tests I have

@FM155 yea @Chris tii sent me the way he had to go but as said, just pricing it up and its getting very expensive very quickly. I'll see how it goes 
@FM155 netwon Abbot, Torquay
Torque can't lift us due to covid so it's literally, planes, trains and taxis all the way there
Flip, Torque definitely isn’t handy I see! No trains from Bristol airport?
Have you priced transporter? It’s not cheap either!
Would Torque meet you at Bristol airport with it? I’ve bought a car from Boston and after a lot of head scratching, I asked if they could transfer it to a dealership within the group and they agreed to get it over to Birmingham.

Plane to Birmingham and then train into new street from airport then direct on cross country trains to newton Abbott. Get the train line app for cheaper rail tickets and avoid peak commuter times for cheaper fairs.@FM155 yea @Chris tii sent me the way he had to go but as said, just pricing it up and its getting very expensive very quickly.

Be weary of weekend rail travel, it’s when the usually do engineering works and buses replace trains.

Getting from Bristol Airport to Temple Mead Station is a pain in the hole and Taxis from the airport are extortionate so going to Birmingham is a fair enough idea. Other option is to pick up a bus going to Weston Super-Mare to get the train as you are heading the right general direction rather than getting into Bristol traffic etc.
@Lyons I went with a mate from Derby to Boston for an old car and it took us around 2.5 hours to get there, nice drive through the fields of vegetables though. Once you get past Grantham, the land is as flat as a witches tit and planted out in veg. Good plan to get it into brum really but I do like a roadtrip.

no flights to Newquay or Exeter ?
Or just drive
Just in case things go tits up and you end up with no way home either.

Don’t get me wrong, I love a new car collection road trip too, but a 3hr train out to the dealership then a further 2hrs driving back is 5hrs that I could really do without losing. I’ll still have 3hrs to Holyhead then another hr and a half up the road from Dublin too!
