Huge queues heading for the Euro-tunnel in Folkestone have formed after severe staffing shortages caused by 'juxtaposed controls', where travellers clear French entry requirements at the port before crossing the Channel. The Port of Dover have declared a 'critical incident' as a result. Travellers are also facing long queues in parts of London, and Heathrow, Manchester and Bristol airports this morning on what is expected to be an extremely busy day for air and road travel
