More than 235,000 passengers passed through the Port of Dover over the four days of the Easter holiday weekend, 7 per cent more than the 2006 holiday weekend.
Figures released by Dover Harbour Board showed that 38,000 cars and 2,500 coaches passed through the port. This represented an increase of 1-2 per cent compared with 2006.
Over 10,000 lorries also passed though the port in what is traditionally a quiet weekend for the haulage industry.
