Travellers have been warned of the likelihood of further cross-Channel delays over the Easter bank holiday weekend.

The Port of Dover hopes to avoid last weekend's massive delays

The UK Foreign Office said high levels of traffic are expected on all routes across the channel from 7 April.

It comes after a critical emergency was declared at the Port of Dover last weekend (31 March), when passengers faced 17-hour queues due to slow processing and an unexpected number of coaches.

"There is a possibility of delays over the Easter bank holiday weekend as high levels of cross-channel traffic on all routes are expected," the FCDO advised.
