Brexit checks cause Dover delay and anger.

TL;DR Summary
Downing Street has admitted that new processes brought in after Brexit played a role in days of chaotic travel queues at Dover. Officials blamed slow border processing and more coaches than expected for 12-hour queues for ferries from Dover. The government is "in discussion" to speed up new passport checks in France. A combination of factors were to blame for delays, including poor weather and the high volume of traffic. The port said ferry companies received 15% more coach bookings for the Easter period than what had been expected - which take longer to process than cars.
