From 20 May 2018
TFL Rail, a new stopping service, will operate from London Paddington to Heathrow Terminals 2,3 and 4. This will replace the Heathrow Connect service.
In preparation for this, Heathrow Express will be changing some of its terms and conditions to bring it in line with other national rail services.
For tickets purchased on or after 2 May 2018, the following changes will apply:
Travel Direction
Tickets must be used for the direction they were booked. For example, a ticket from Paddington to Heathrow cannot be used for travel from Heathrow to Paddington.
Single Ticket Validity
All single tickets are only valid on the date of travel specified on the ticket when purchased
Return Ticket Validity
All return tickets are valid for:
Outbound journey: Must be made within 5 days of the date of travel specified on the ticket when purchased.
Return journey: Must be made within 30 days of the date of travel specified on the ticket when purchased.
Peak Travel Times
Heathrow Express Peak hours will now be:
Morning Peak 0630 – 0930
Evening Peak 1600 – 1900
Ticket Barriers Installed at Heathrow stations
From 20 May 2018 ticket barriers will be in operation at Heathrow stations. You will still require a ticket to pass the through the ticket barriers. Heathrow Express will accept Contactless and Oyster from September 2018. Tickets can be purchased online, at a ticket vending machine or from one of our sales agents.
Also, to put to bed the questions a few weeks back about free inter-terminal travel with barriers in place:
Terminal 4 and Terminal 5
Free shuttle trains run between Heathrow Central station (Terminals 2 & 3) and Terminal 4 or Terminal 5. There are four trains an hour. Please note from 20 May 2018, to travel on the shuttle trains, you can get a free Inter-Terminal Transfer ticket from the machines in the station. You can also use an Transport for London Oyster card or a contactless payment card which will not be charged when travelling between terminals.
