Heathrow Terminal 5 station
|
Heathrow Terminal 5 station is a shared railway station at London's Heathrow Airport, and opened on March 27, 2008. Designed by architects HOK International in conjunction with Rogers, Stirk, Harbour & Partners, the station is staffed by Heathrow Express staff unlike the underground stations at Heathrow Terminal 4 and Heathrow Terminals 1-3.
Although situated underground, parts of its roofing are made of translucent ETFE laminate panels, allowing natural daylight to flood down both ends of all six platforms.[1]
The Terminal 5 station is served by the following rail services[2]:
Future links
In addition to the above rail links, the T5 Rail Station also has two safeguarded "heavy rail" platforms for use by a west-facing connection to the National Rail network. This proposed link via a new station at Staines High Street is called Heathrow Airtrack and would offer half-hourly services to London Waterloo, Reading, Woking and Guildford. BAA have published as part of the Airtrack consultation that they also want to extend the Heathrow Express to a new platform at Staines railway station.
