Trade body for UK bus and coach sector says working to mitigate impacts of the EU's biometric border arrangements on coach traveller hearing in to Europe, especially in peak periods. 

Confederation of Passenger Transport CEO Graham Vidler says,

‘The introduction of the new Entry and Exit System (EES) from October will inevitably add to processing times for coach passengers passing through Dover and Eurotunnel. We are pressing Ministers and port authorities to ensure that dedicated facilities are available for coaches with sufficient capacity to handle flows in school holidays and other peak periods.’
