Emergency responders are managing an incident on the tracks that has forced the closure of multiple rail routes leading to Heathrow Airport, suspending several major train services.
The suspension affects the Heathrow Express, Elizabeth line, and Great Western Railway networks, shutting down all tracks between London Paddington, Reading, and Heathrow Terminals.
National Rail reported that the disruptions will likely persist until at least 12pm, following a casualty reported on the tracks shortly before 8am.
Travelers using the Elizabeth Line can take bus connections between Hanwell and West Ealing toward Ealing Broadway or Southall.
Passengers can use their tickets on London Underground, London Buses, Thameslink, DLR, South Western Railways, and Chiltern Railway services.
The Piccadilly Line remains operational for commuters traveling from central London.
National Rail advises passengers to give themselves extra time for their journeys to the airport.
National Rail stated on its website that emergency personnel are managing an issue between London Paddington and Heathrow Terminals and Reading, leading to lines being closed for safety.
Services running across these stations face cancellation, revisions, or delays of up to 60 minutes, with major delays anticipated until 12:00.
Separate disruptions are also affecting the route between Weybridge and Surbiton.
South Western Railway posted on X that a speed restriction due to a defective track is impacting trains between Weybridge and Surbiton, causing cancellations, delays, or revisions.
