I was in the same boat as you last night. I logged in at 10pm last night and that was about all I could do till 2am. I did not give up so I got stuck with it and my finger was on F5 till 2am.
At 2:02am this morning (28th Feb), I guess I was one of the first people to get in and there were appointments in Solihull, Liverpool and Sheffield scattered everywhere.
I guess the best way to get appointment would be to go to bed early and wake up at 1:30am to log in. UKBA website come alive again at 2am.

No, I got Sheffield! Because we are three in total all appointments were finished before I finished typing our detail. So, I went for Sheffield.

Can you please tell what details are required at the time of booking?
Thanks.

Just five fields;
1. First name
2. Last Name
3. Date of Birth. However, in DOB field you will need to select from dropdown menu your day, month of birth then you will need to type your year of birth.

You need to login early say 11:45, then after 12, keep trying till 1 or 2 a.m.
Then you should have it !
Best of luck.

I could not log in from 10pm till 2am on the 26th Feb... Apply online is trickier than you think now.
There maintenance work between 1 - 4 march, hopefully that will reduce the pain.

If there is maintenance , then no one can do it, website is down.
But generally as long as you keep trying you will be fine.
BTW I just booked mine few weeks ago. It's painful but it's definitely doable ,just keep trying.
Please distinguish website down due to large amount of access and normal maintenance.
For latter one it's fair as on one can access it but that's not normally the case.
