Rail operator Eurotunnel said some trains carrying freight and car passengers were allowed to cross to the continent beneath the English Channel on Wednesday. He said no freight trucks have made the journey yet because of testing troubles, and he didn't expect any until night time. The Calais port normally brings in up to 4,000 trucks a day. British Communities Secretary Robert Jenrick said it would take “a few days” to test all the drivers who are currently in the county of Kent. Testing facilities were in place at the airport.
