As has been said many times before, and by me on more than one occasion, an alternative to the current Op. Stack is required and urgently. T2 won't even go part way to solving the problem because the 1,000 spaces will be filled by trucks waiting for ferries and the remaining, and increasing numbers of trucks will still be backed up along Snargate Street and up the hill back to Capel and beyond. In fact T2 might even make matter worse.
Op. Stack takes ages to put in place, mainly because the manpower required has to be relocated from other tasks and police shift patterns changed. We know this can take at least 12 hours to achieve, and more often 24 hours unless prior warning of a strike across the channel has been received. The only answer is a massive, off-road lorry park that can be opened at a moments notice and freight traffic diverted into it. The trouble is that virtually all the appropriate land is green-belt and any suggestion of blighting it with a truck park only results in a backlash from the locals - quite often the same locals who complain about Op. Stack in the first place. You can't have it both ways!
Somewhere must be found, between Ashford and Dover, to put at least 5,000 trucks on a suitable hard-standing with either temporary or permanent facilities for the drivers.
It might also help if some agreement could be made with the French authorities to prevent the blockading of the ports on their side of the channel. At least that way we would only have to cope with the weather disrupting, but not completely stopping, the ferries sailing.
