Thousands face disruption at Dover on Good Friday as coach timetables risk moving

Ferry operators are trying to spread the volume of traffic at the port after last weekend's disruption saw coaches get held up for more than 12 hours.

And "additional temporary border control infrastructure" will be brought in "as contingency capacity for coach processing".The decision to try and "reduce coach volumes" on Good Friday will see ferry operators DFDS, Irish Ferries and P&O Ferries "working with their coach customers to spread the travel" from Thursday to Saturday.

But the Confederation of Passenger Transport, a trade association for coach businesses, said limiting the traffic volume would be "an unacceptable and backward step".Drivers have been told to arrive on time and not early so as to "avoid unnecessary bottlenecks".Sir Keir Starmer told LBC's Nick Ferrari at Breakfast: "Of coursehas had an impact - there are more checks to be done. That doesn't mean that I'm advocating reversal of Brexit - I'm not.
