Does anyone know when Bakers' Direct TC opens? Their website seems to say 2 different app opening dates - 16/02/2026 and 01/02/2026. I'm guessing it's the former, since an 'apply' button hasn't popped up

I believe it was the 1st, but a few days ago they moved it to the 16th. Presumably busier than expected with vac scheme apps and so wanted to delay the influx of DTC apps.
