Dover's Gridlock Woes Continue for UK Passengers.
TL;DR
Thousands of coach passengers have faced long delays at the Port of Dover due to lengthy immigration processes at the border and the sheer volume of traffic. The delays coincided with the start of the Easter holidays for many schools, which brought a surge of coaches to the Kent port. The main issue has been passport control in France, with every UK passport holder now required to have their passport examined and stamped. The Port of Dover has declared a critical incident and is working round the clock to clear the backlog. The UK government recommends passengers check the latest advice from their operators before travelling.
