It follows a lorry fire and power supply problems over the weekend.

Freight traffic is having to wait an hour and a half just to check in, and passengers are having to wait up to an hour at Folkestone.

Thousands of passengers were originally affected after the fire on Saturday - both on Eurotunnel and Eurostar services.

Rolling roadblocks were earlier set up to ease the congestion.
