Night-and-day:
Funny that, a pal of mine crosses twice a week and says there’s relatively few delays, certainly not 9 miles of queuesIt is odd…
Isn’t it. On the 12th January there were 4 day delays apparently. Yet drivers were saying on here that they were shipping in and out as normal. Once again I look on Google maps and see no red anywhere in Calais.
Im taking January off (part of retirement run-down) so no personal experience this year, but those reports arent inconsistent.
A “queue” will come and go. They can build up very quickly, but generally wont clear as quickly. 9 miles isnt too unusual for Dover at busy times, but it is only January, and there are fewer passengers.
A “delay” as in a few days wont be lorries stopped on the roadside. Thatll be a truck parked in a customs area or truck-park awaiting clearance.
Even if there are no queues and the roads show green, trucks who are held for checks will have trips “delayed” but won`t be in “queues”.
