Heathrow rail engineering works: 16 & 17 November

Due to planned engineering works, there will be no Heathrow Express or Elizabeth line services to or from Heathrow on Saturday 16 November and Sunday 17 November.

Piccadilly line services will be running as normal on both days.


Passengers should plan their journeys before travelling, and allow for additional time where necessary as trains that are running will be much busier than normal.

Making Every Journey Better

About our strategy​

​As the UK’s only hub airport and the best-connected airport in the world, Heathrow connects the UK to global growth. Our strategy focuses on a collective responsibility to create a better Heathrow, now and for the future. 

Heathrow is the UK’s international gateway, the largest airport in Europe and the most connected megahub in the world – connecting to over 230 destinations in nearly 90 countries. The airport welcomes over 82 million passengers a year and serves as Britain’s hub for tourism, investment and trade – with over 26% of the UK’s exports (by value) going through Heathrow. With over 90,000 working at Heathrow, the airport is also a hub for employment as the UK’s largest single-site employer.
