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.

What will it fund?

Homes in targeted areas will be assessed on their individual requirements and brought up to an appropriate level of acoustic performance. An initial survey will recommend measures to reduce noise that are right for each home, such as new glazing and roof insulation.

Typically, noise insulation that can be up to 100% funded includes the supply and installation of:

  • Replacement primary windows or secondary glazing and external doors
  • Installation of acoustically rated ventilation in eligible rooms to dampen external noise
  • Acoustic quilts roof voids
  • Upgrading of ceilings within eligible rooms to help reduce noise

Conservatories are specifically excluded from the scheme, along with commercial and out-buildings, garages, mobile homes and canal boats.

Works will be funded on a like for like basis. There may be a cost to the homeowner if the specification is increased beyond the like for like works that Heathrow has agreed to fund.

    Upon reaching an agreement we will ask you to sign and return a works consent form to us, confirming you are happy to proceed with the works. 

  4. Schedule

    Once that agreement is in place, we will be able to give you an estimate on when works will start. 

    Nearer the time we will be in contact to agree a start date and provide you with more information on how to prepare for the day.
