Buses: Port of Dover

Delays can be caused by a number of factors, at Easter this was principally due to high levels of demand exceeding capacity to handle, together with many coaches arriving well before their allotted sailing times. The first weekend of the Easter holidays saw higher than expected coach volumes travelling outbound via the port of Dover leading to longer processing times for border checks. New systems and processes to handle coaches were implemented at the Port for May half-term leading to minimal delays.
