Eurotunnel has reportedly seen a "sharp rise" in enquiries from coach companies looking to avoid a repeat of last weekend’s (31 March) ferry delays at the Port of Dover.

Eurotunnel's new restrictions follow an announcement by the French government

It comes as ferry firms entered talks with port authorities after travellers faced queues of up to 17-hours. 

However, speaking to the BBC, Eurotunnel said it was unlikely to have availability as bookings were made in advance. 

Eurotunnel spokesman John Keefe reportedly said the service, which experienced "no delays" last weekend, was already running at maximum capacity.
