Channel Tunnel delays after migrants storm French side
Fresh disruption was brought to Channel Tunnel services after around 150 migrants tried to storm the terminal in Calais in a bid to board UK-bound freight.
Economic impact of Calais situation 'horrendous'
The Road Haulage Association has described the economic impact of the repeated disruptions in Calais as "horrendous".
It said the situation is putting truckers' "lives and livelihoods" at risk as it called for "an urgent solution."
The RHA's Kate Gibbs said: "We have heard stories of drivers being threatened with knives. What I cannot stress enough is that these truckers are not getting the recognition they deserve.
"They are doing a fabulous job for the haulage industry, and the supply chain relies on them. Every member of the public relies on HGV drivers.
...The French don't see it as their problem but we have got to see action."
