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.

CIRIAS

CIRIAS (Critical Infrastructure Resilience Integrated Aviation System) – Hopes to discover how the next generation of autonomous drones could be used to support the aviation sector. The research will see whether systems could be developed that would allow drones to be used for long-range tasks, beyond the usual line of sight. This concept could help conduct inspections of runways, airfields, roofs and warehouses, reducing costs and cutting emissions by decreasing the number of vehicles used at the airport.
