- How far would I have to travel from Wakefield for the test?
6 other cities sit within 25 miles of Wakefield, the closest being Leeds at roughly 8 miles. That usually means a choice of dates.
- What if there are no appointments left in Wakefield?
Book any centre the service offers you, not only the closest. From Wakefield that means Leeds at about 8 miles or Huddersfield at about 12 miles, measured in a straight line. One of those often has a slot sooner.
