There were lengthy pedestrian queues to enter the Rock this morning as Spanish law enforcement agents conducted another trial run of the new electronic entry system. Pedestrians crossing the frontier were taking around 25 minutes to enter Gibraltar at 10am.

According to witnesses, there were numerous teething problems with the system including a failure to recognize ID cards and passports.

In addition, later on this morning, there was also a long queue of cars stretching halfway to the Rocamar Hotel.

“This is further evidence of the mess the frontier is in,” said one commuter.

“It strikes me that this new system is just blocking people on the way in as well as on the way out,” he added.
