Passengers hoping to sail from Dover this weekend are finding themselves caught up in road chaos, and facing huge delays getting to the port.
Weather problems and ferry shortages - partly caused by issues at troubled ferry firm P&O - have caused massive tailbacks which have led to roads around the port being gridlocked, and to miles of jams on motorways in Kent.
A traffic management system known as Operation Brock - which was created to manage traffic disruption caused by post-Brexit paperwork issues - has been put in place to try to deal with the problem. The system sees lorries heading to Dover being allowed to use one side of the M20 motorway while all other traffic is restricted to a contraflow system on the opposite side.
