GRO Pilot 3
Copied from the GRO website
PDF Pilot Phase 3 We are trialling a service from 16 March to provide PDF copies of our non-digitised records. Records will not be immediately viewable, but emailed as a PDF. Applications for each PDF cost £8, must be made online and include a GRO index reference. England and Wales records which are available as PDF's in pilot 3 include: Births: 1935-2006 Deaths: 1958-2006 Marriages: 1837-2010 Full details are in About the PDF Pilot Note: A PDF is not a certificate and has no value for services where a certificate is required e.g. a Passport or Driving Licence application, or Notice of Marriage Pilot phase 3 closes at 4pm on 12 April or when 40,000 PDF's have been ordered, whichever is sooner. Analysis of the pilot will then follow. Indexes Have you used our Online Historical Birth and Death Indexes yet? They may include extra information; maiden name and age at death. See Most Customers Want to Know.

Interesting that you can only order births and deaths up to 2006 and marriages up to 2010. I wonder why not up to 2017?

Other than being slightly more expensive, what's the difference between this service and the first pilot a few moths ago?

The first pilot was only for births 1837-1916 & deaths 1837-1957 already in digital format.
This pilot is for records not in digital format.

Wasn't this cheaper before?
I'm not sure why I'd want to order a digital copy if I'm only saving £1.50

Ironically, the first pilot, where THEY provided you with the reference, was cheaper.
I assume that this is more expensive because the records are not digitised, but the onus is on us to provide the reference - and of course this is nigh impossible for marriages post 2007. I agree, £1.50 is hardly an incentive to rush out and buy heaps of certificates. That's probably why they have set a lower target.
