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.

How Parking at Terminal 5 Works

  1. Book in advance – We recommend booking your parking in advance to get the best price for stays for longer than 24-hours. If you are staying for less than 24-hours, picking someone up or dropping-off, please drive-up and pay at one of our on-foot machines.

  2. Arriving at Terminal 5 Short Stay car park - Upon arrival, drive-up to the barrier, where your number plate will be read and if you have booked in advance, a ticket showing your booking reference will be issued. If you are staying for a shorter period, simply press the button and a ticket will be issued.

  3. Parking – Parking is available on all levels. Once safely parked, make a note of the level and row of your space before leaving the vehicle.

  4. Getting to Terminal 3 – To get to Terminal 5, simply follow the signs for departures or arrivals, where you will find a covered walkway linking the car park with the main terminal building. 

  5. When you return – On your return, follow the covered walkway back to the car park, and drive your car to the exit gates. Number plate recognition will read your number plate, and the barrier will open if you have pre-booked your parking.
