   The ban came in long before D-Day for security reasons. I'm not aware   
   that it continued long after D-Day, though obviously troop movements and   
   military logistics would have had absolute priority on rail and road.   
      
   Unfortunately google is not very helpful and the books I have all   
   concentrate on events the other side of the channel after D-Day.
