Today, passengers were faced with major disruptions as Heathrow Express trains came to a sudden halt. The cause? A safety concern in the tunnel between Heathrow Airport and central London. National Rail has advised that all trains between Heathrow and the capital have been suspended due to this issue.
The closure of the tunnel has resulted in severe disruptions for holidaymakers travelling on the Elizabeth line and Heathrow Express to and from the airport. According to National Rail, the closure is necessary for "tunnel safety reasons," and has caused the cancellation or revision of trains. This includes the Elizabeth line trains between Abbey Wood and Heathrow Terminals 4 and 5, as well as the Heathrow Express between London Paddington and Heathrow Terminal 5.
Unfortunately, the disruptions are expected to continue until at least 9am. The Elizabeth line trains are unable to reach Heathrow Airport due to the tunnel problem, which has been identified as an issue with the ventilation system. National Rail has stated that the trains will not be able to run until this issue is resolved by Network Rail.
While the London Underground Piccadilly line is still operational to and from the airport, it is important to note that the affected routes include the Elizabeth line and the Heathrow Express. If you have been impacted by these disruptions, please reach out to us at noora.email.
