Eurotunnel, the operator of the Tunnel, issued a statement today in the wake of last night's Brexit defeat for Theresa May.

The firm said: "We have adapted our infrastructure so that, with or without a deal, traffic flow through the Tunnel will be maintained.

"Eurotunnel is currently working to ensure that new post-Brexit border controls will have no significant impact on Tunnel traffic."

Eurostar passenger trains, car trains operated by Le Shuttle and freight trains all use the line under the English Channel.

Remainers have previously warned that Dover, Britain's most important port, would be totally shut down by a No Deal Brexit.

Officials have dredged the port of Ramsgate to allow it to take on extra capacity if Dover is overwhelmed.

But today's reassurances suggest key bottlenecks will be able to survive Brexit.
