Tourist traffic near the Port of Dover was 'free flowing' again on Sunday after the area was plunged into travel chaos, the port has said. Travellers have been advised to contact their ferry operator for updates and sailing times after gridlocked roads on Saturday became less congested.
The suspension of P&O services, with three of the company’s vessels at berth in Dover, had been partly blamed for long queues. Adverse weather in the Channel and congestion caused by tourists travelling to Kent for an Easter getaway were also said to be contributing to the jams.
The port said: “All approach roads to the Port are free flowing for tourists with space in the Port for those arriving today. Travellers are asked to contact their ferry operator for their travel updates & sailing times.”
