Heathrow Express is a dedicated express passenger rail service in the UK connecting London's Heathrow Airport with Paddington mainline railway station.
The Heathrow Express helps passengers journey between Paddington Station and Heathrow Airport in just 15-21 minutes, substantially less time than it would take using the London Underground metro system or overground bus network. The trains depart from their terminal stations every 15 minutes throughout the day, from around 5 am until 11.30 pm.
Heathrow Express trains offer two ticket types: standard class, aka Express Class, and Business First, with larger, more comfortable seats with tables. Both classes have carriages with increased areas for luggage storage and complimentary WiFi.
As an official partner of Heathrow Express, Wanderu has all of the latest schedules and best prices for bus tickets. Search, compare, and book your trip all in one place!
