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.

Retro-Heathrow…planes from the past

Retro-Heathrow…planes from the past
By Heathrow
Heathrow aircraft have been inspiring photographers for decades, so we decided to take a look at some “retro” and old liveries thanks to Tony Best. Enjoy!

Tony Best has been taking photos at Heathrow since the 1970’s and is a contributor to the Airliners.net forum. Tony recently attended the View Heathrow AvGeek opportunity we held in T4 and we asked him to share with us some of his favourite historical pics from the airport.

A big thank you to Tony Best for sharing this stunning selection of snaps with us.Next week we’ll be sharing Tony’s memories of his photography passion at Heathrow and how things have changed for aviation enthusiasts since the 1970’s. If you’ve got your own classic Heathrow pics we’d love to see them. Tweet them to us @yourHeathrow or tag us on Instagram (@heathrow_airport).
