Yes Brian the A20 is backing up but I cant see any reason for it. All ferries appear to be working fine. Bad weather with strong winds is expected later alright but so far all appears normal apart for the tailback.

Volume of traffic! You should have seen it yesterday on the other side of the channel coming this way - I thought half of Europe was coming to invade!!!

That's certainly the way I see it Howard. Dunkerque, Calais and the Tunnel were an absolute nightmare for trucks heading this way. I don't suppose the shipping companies were complaining though!

If the predicted winds happen it will delay things even more.

Just seen on Twitter that problems at the tunnel have caused freight to divert to Dover causing the queues.

That is exactly what happens Brian, the decision is the Ferry companies though for the on board spend.

Probably is now but as you know once the queue is there it takes some shifting.
