This is the best summary I could come up with:

Eurostar could be forced to limit passenger numbers travelling from St Pancras each day under post-Brexit plans to bring in biometric border controls later this year, the owner of the station has warned.

This will replace the stamping of passports for UK travellers, and instead require passengers to enter personal information and details about their trip, as well as submitting fingerprint and facial biometric data.

In its own evidence to the committee, Eurostar said kiosks would create new queues and a more complex flow management that would represent a “higher risk for the delivery of the timetable and the growth of rail transport from St Pancras”.

Last week, Ashford borough council, responsible for the area around the Port of Dover, told the committee 14-hour queues were “a reasonable worst-case” scenario if the scheme was implemented as planned.

In its evidence to the committee, Eurostar called for an “emergency brake mechanism” to be established, which could be triggered by politicians if the EES led to permanently longer queues and traffic.

In some cases up to one-third of the 900 seats were left unsold on services between London, Paris and Brussels, because the company could not deal with post-Brexit rules that required each UK passport to be stamped.
