Piccadilly line industrial action: 2-4 June

Due to planned industrial action, there will be no Piccadilly line London Underground service to or from Heathrow on Tuesday 2 June and Thursday 4 June. A normal service is expected on Wednesday 3 June.

 

Heathrow Express, Elizabeth line, replacement buses and local bus services will run as normal on these days.

 

Please plan your journey before travelling to Heathrow and allow extra time where necessary, as these services will be busier than usual.

Fleet Noise Information

As part of the 2024-2028 Noise Action Plan, we have set out a number of actions with the aim of reducing the impact of noise on our communities.

This includes working with our airline partners to ensure that Heathrow operates with a ‘best in class’ fleet mix and to report on it annually. We will be reviewing the landing charges structure in order to meet our sustainable growth objectives and will be working with the Fleet Forecasting Forum to identify opportunities to evidence and incentivise the accelerated adoption of new technology at Heathrow with the aim of accelerating the transition to a quieter fleet.

Action 1B of the Noise action plan commits to us publishing the distribution mix of our fleet annually. The data for 2024 is presented in the table below:
