The theory in it is that the companies who test you upload the tested reference numbers & results to a government website which then cross references them against the locator form inputs. Its how they would track you if you tested positive. So if you don't take the test they will still know you have not followed the rules.
if the government has the will or resources to track everyone down is a totally different question.
I do know two lads who came and tried to blag there way through on the ferry and were knocked back however until they did the locator forms properly and order the 2 day tests

I've used the same reference number for the last 3 tris abroad in the last 5 months and haven't done not one 2 day test, they don't track it at all

That's useful mate; my Mrs was abroad recently and has a ref number (and test kit sitting in a drawer somewhere) so it may be possible to use this ref number? I'm not inclined to waste £48 unnecessarily..

I wouldn't.
If there's a chance, even if it's only a slim chance I'd worry about getting caught.
Too many chancers about and they seem to get away with it, sod's law if you or I done it we'd be the ones to get caught.
Talking of chances there's a good chance they'll scrap the test when the government make their next announcement anyway.

Thanks Ken.
I am really looking forward to the trip to regain some semblance of normality back into my life and hopefully bagging one or two along the way.

For anyone ordering, i had same experience as Scar, ordered mine yesterday, got the all important ref number within a few minutes and the kit has arrived today - expert medical £28
I would guess looking at the reviews dates they couldnt keep up with demand during the holiday season!

Can these be used for outward Journeys?

You only need them for the return journey
I purchased two antigen tests yesterday from C19, and a day 2 test from NWP. Should be here this week.
So I have to just keep the day 2 test reference number to fill in the form when returning to the UK?
Do I actually have to go somewhere and take that day 2 test after returning to the UK, or is it done from home/online like the antigen?
TIA.

That's right Mark keep your 2 day code for passenger locator form .
2 day test , carry out at home and you can arrange a courier or 24hr Royal Mail secure tracked delivery .
Option 3 delivery to Lab but that's too far away from you .
