What is Heathrow Connect?
[[File:360204 at Ealing Broadway.jpg|thumb|''Heathrow Connect'' [[British Rail Class 360|Class 360]] train at Ealing Broadway]] '''Heathrow Connect''' was a [[train]] service in [[London]] that ran between [[London Paddington station|Paddington station]] and [[London Heathrow Airport|Heathrow Airport]]. It was provided by the [[Heathrow Express]] company together with [[First Great Western]]. The first train ran on 12 June 2005. The Heathrow Connect service ran every half-hour throughout the day and evening from Monday to Saturday and every hour on Sunday. It followed the same route as the Heathrow Express service, but while Heathrow Express ran non-stop between Paddington and the airport, Heathrow Connect stopped at some stations in between. Altogether, there were eight stations at which Heathrow Connect trains stopped, so the train could connect places in west London with each other, the airport, and [[Central London]]. The trains used on the line were five [[British Rail Class 360|Class 360s]] made by [[Siemens]]. On 20 May 2018 [[TfL Rail]] took over operation of the Heathrow Connect service. {{Current UK TOCs}} {{transport-stub}} [[Category:Rail transport in London]] [[Category:British train operating companies]]
