Preparing for the Elizabeth line
TfL Rail improvements
TfL Rail has taken over the former Heathrow Connect service between Paddington and Heathrow Terminals 2 & 3, 4 & 5, as well as the GWR stopping services between Paddington and Hayes & Harlington.
All stations are now staffed from the first train to the last and if you need assistance there is no need to pre-book – staff will be on hand to help you
Fares between Paddington and Heathrow
The single adult pay as you go fare between Paddington and Heathrow is £10.20 during peak hours (06:30 – 09:30, and 16:00 – 19:00, Monday to Friday). At all other times the single adult pay as you go fare is £10.10.
Use contactless, Oyster or a Visitor Oyster card to travel to and from Heathrow airport on TfL Rail and you may also benefit from daily capping.
