Pupils from Leicestershire were left disappointed after 15 hours of delays with little food or water
A teacher on the trip said there were only a few toilets for thousands of peopleA skiing trip for a group of Leicestershire schoolchildren had to be abandoned when their coach was caught up in lengthy delays at Dover.A teacher from Rawlins Academy in Quorn said they threatened to call emergency services due to "dire" conditions during the wait overnight on Saturday.
Rawlins Academy vice principal Cathy Robinson told BBC Radio Leicester they had been warned of some problems, so made sure the children were "fed and watered". "We eventually tried to get some sleep at one or two in the morning, still in a holding pen, but I think it was when we woke up at about seven and we hadn't moved we thought 'maybe this isn't going to happen'," she said.'Wonderful' pupils
Shortly before 09:00 on Sunday staff decided, due to health and safety concerns, to abandon the trip.
