Does anyone have any recent, real world experience of check-in times / queue time at Harwich, Portsmouth or Plymouth - for ferries to / from France / Spain.

I'm specifically interested in departures from Harwich, arrivals at Plymouth and both departs / arrivals to / from Portsmouth.

I've not seen anything in the press, or via a google search, so I am hopeful that they are all more or less normal, but would be interested to hear any confirmation (or otherwise). Thanks

I'm hoping (as I'm traveling from Portsmouth next week) that these aren't as bad as the Eurotunnel and Dover were last week, simply due to the fact that the departures are a lot less frequent.

My Nephew just came over last night Harwich to the Hook. No queues or delays, all running on schedule

Brittany Ferries and Portsmouth International Port recently announced that although they have had a surge of last minute bookings since the Tunnel problems started, they are not suffering any delays nor do they expect to experience any during the summer.

However, the Border Control checks at each end will take longer than in previous years because of "you know what" but it's nowhere near comparable with what's going on at the Tunnel.
