NCT - What'e the story here

Ya, I know it's not a motorhome issue but we all do have cars.

The NCT booking website presents availability as booked out away into the future, it's nearly impossible to get a slot anytime within the next few months at a time of booking.

Today in the Naas NCT center when my son went in for a retest on his car all the lanes were empty and half a dozen testers standing around chewing the fat.

The answer you'll get is, it's because people don't turn up for their appointment.

We’d to wait months, even on the cancellation list (M50 north).
Got an appointment for last week at 9pm, they were open up to 11.
We’ll see how busy they are there this week, retest on Thursday at 6.

Staff shortages and covid absence apparently !


If that's the case maybe Naas should tell head office it's all present here. How many other 'Naases' are there
Has The RSA ever run anything efficiently one could ask 🤔

Busy(ish) in north point 2.
Retest done within 10 mins of arrival.
I’d post a photo but….that’s a different issue 😂
