Long delays returned to the Port of Dover on Wednesday morning. Ferry operator P&O Ferries warned passengers of “major queues” and to expect a two-hour wait to complete checks before they can board a ship.
It comes after tens of thousands of families saw their holiday plans ruined last week due to miles of gridlocked traffic around the Kent port. This was blamed on a combination of French border control not being fully staffed and a serious crash on the M20 motorway.
P&O Ferries posted on Twitter: “There are currently major queues at border controls in Dover. Please allow up to two hours to complete all checks ahead of your sailing.
