'Foolish' to rule out bank holiday delays admits port boss

Up to 5,500 cars and 350 coaches are predicted to travel through the ferry terminal today.

Motorists are warned that this could be the busiest late May bank holiday weekend on the roads since 2019.

It coincides with the start of the halfterm break for most schools.

A survey of 2,138 drivers for the RAC indicated that 19.2 million leisure car trips will take place across the UK between today and Monday.

The Port of Dover has been under pressure to put measures in place to stop traffic getting snarled up as occurred at the start of the Easter holidays.

Bosses conceded that was a "horrible situation" for travellers, who reported being stuck on coaches for up to 17 hours. Delays were blamed on French border checks, that can now take up to 15 minutes.
