Britain’s biggest scheduled airline and two train companies are making international travel easier for their customers in Wales and the West of England. A single booking will now combine air and rail travel, with hassle-free connections, thanks to a new partnership between British Airways, Heathrow Express and First Great Western. From December 5th these tickets will be available to book through travel agents for travel from 11 First Great Western stations. 

Heathrow Express, the main line linking London to the airport, has been closed by fire as thousands of passengers attempt to board flights for the Christmas holiday. The branch route to Heathrow was shut after water penetrated a line-side transformer at its junction with the Great Western main line earlier, causing a fire.

Heathrow Express has unveiled the result of a £16 million investment ahead of the 2012 London Olympic Games. Stepping into a ‘New Era’, the service will see a new brand, corporate colours, staff uniforms and a refurbished and higher specification rolling stock rolled out.

Passengers travelling to Heathrow are likely to see journeys disrupted as staff prepare to walk out as part of an industrial dispute. Members of the Rail Maritime and Transport union are preparing for two 24-hour strikes on February 26th and March 11th.

Heathrow Express, the fastest way to travel between central London and Heathrow Airport, has now launched its improved service to Terminal 4.

Heathrow Express, the fastest way to travel between central London and Heathrow Airport, has extended its service to a 24 hour operation on April 21st 2010 to ensure that passengers affected by the flight restrictions can make it to and from the airport.
