Thousands of holidaymakers face having their Easter trips disrupted as ferry operators are asking coach operators to amend some Good Friday ferry bookings from the Port of Dover.

The Kent port said in a statement that this is a result of its “urgent review” after “horrible” delays last weekend.

Good Friday is expected to be the busiest day of the Easter bank holiday weekend for coaches embarking on cross-Channel trips from the port.
