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.

As part of the economic regulation of Heathrow, the Civil Aviation Authority (CAA) introduced a service quality rebate scheme on 1 July 2003.

The scheme was reviewed and extended by the CAA during the price control review for Q5 (March 2008) and Q6 (March 2014) to include new measures, increased standards to existing measures and an increase to the amount of revenue at risk.

The aspects of Heathrow's performance measured includes queuing at the departures security area.
