Travelling to Heathrow over Christmas & New Year

On Christmas Day (Thursday 25 December) and Boxing Day (Friday 26 December), there will be no Heathrow Express or Elizabeth line services operating between Central London and Heathrow.

 

Heathrow Express trains will be running between all terminals, departing every 20 minutes.

 

Additionally, there will be no Piccadilly line services from London to Heathrow on Christmas Day, and a limited service will be running on Boxing Day.

 

Special timetables and Sunday services will be in operation across most public transport over the Christmas and New Year period. We recommend planning your journey and allowing for extra time where necessary.

Our business plan for 2027-2031

The CAA is currently consulting on the regulatory framework for Heathrow’s next regulatory period, known as H8, due to commence on 1 January 2027.

The CAA’s publications regarding H8 and responses to its consultation are available on the CAA’s website.

Heathrow submitted its Initial Business Plan (IBP) to the CAA in July 2025 as part of the CAA’s H8 price control review process. We have engaged extensively with airlines and wider stakeholders throughout 2024, and will continue to do so ahead of the CAA making its final decision.
