In preparation for EU Exit, the Border Delivery Group and Border Force have assessed 135 transport hubs across the United Kingdom, including these named locations. Based on this assessment, the Government does not expect material passenger delays at these locations as a result of leaving the EU. The Government is continuing to engage with local stakeholders across the UK to support their planning for a range of EU Exit scenarios.
