Hundreds of users of the international service have seen their trains delayed or cancelled due to the technical issue which began on Thursday afternoon.
In a statement, the train service said the delays were due to a problem with UK Border Force e-gates, which caused the company to cancel at least two trains.
"We are sincerely sorry for the inconvenience caused," the company said, advising customers to postpone journeys if possible.
