Tried to clean up the article, but info on Suffolk is hard to find. Can anyone else help? Regan123 20:36, 16 October 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Waterbrook

I agree there is no info / reference material, but living in Ashford, I know that the facility has been used for processing the lorries after they've been parked on the M20, before allowing onward travel. Olive Oil 13:03, 14 January 2007 (UTC)

I'm sure you're right, but what concerned me was a complete lack of sources. Is there a paper reference? Regan123 18:34, 15 January 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Is this two articles?

The way Suffolk and Kent had been merged had me confused for a while. I suggest that this needs to be clearer.

Option 1: Create two articles Operation Stack, Kent and Operation Stack, Suffolk then disambiguating this page.
Option 2: Start the article with a general Operation Stack is a codename for the method of using sections of main road to park lorries when ports are blocked by bad weather or industrial action. Then break the rest of the article into a Kent section and a Suffolk section.

[edit] How often?

How often does Operation Stack come into force? Seems to be quite often (every few weeks) in my anecdotal experience --LukeSurl 17:56, 20 March 2007 (UTC)

It's difficult to comment on how often, depends upon bad weather and the French, might be nothing for months and then three or four periods over a few weeks as recently - Olive Oil -_ŢάĽɮ - 18:28, 20 March 2007 (UTC)
