name?[edit]

What does the name stand for? Kaihsu (talk) 21:19, 14 March 2019 (UTC)[reply]

According to Kent County Council, as reported in the Independent, the name comes from "BRexit Operations aCross Kent". 147.147.217.224 (talk) 21:37, 23 March 2019 (UTC)[reply]

Call me a cynic, but I suspect that's a backronym (and not a very good one, IMO). The 'aCross' is a bit of a giveaway... DoubleGrazing (talk) 09:34, 28 October 2019 (UTC)[reply]

Operation Fennel[edit]

I seem to note Operation Fennel is also used ... Is Operation Brock part of Operation Fennel ? Djm-leighpark (talk) 20:37, 26 March 2019 (UTC) Note mention on Operation Stack. Djm-leighpark (talk) 20:37, 26 March 2019 (UTC)[reply]

Brock was part of Fennel. https://www.bbc.co.uk/news/uk-england-kent-55278947 I haven't heard Fennel mentioned recently. — Preceding unsigned comment added by S C Cheese (talk • contribs) 16:01, 31 July 2022 (UTC)[reply]

Supplementary to Operation Stack or a replacement[edit]

The article describes Operation Brock as supplementing Operation Stack. However, I see no mention of Operation stack still being in effect e.g. at https://nationalhighways.co.uk/travel-updates/operation-brock/ I happened to speak, non-officially, to staff at National Highways recently who believed Operation Brock being a traffic management plan that replaced, rather than supplements Operation Stack.
