Today we're saying farewell to our Class 332 trains.
After serving us very well over the past 25 years, they are making their final journeys before introducing our new fleet tomorrow.
Wave the 332s goodbye and say hello to the 387s. 👋🚄
Today's the day we're rolling out our new Heathrow Express fleet! 🚄
Our new 387 fleet offers a range of enhancements over the previous 332s, and we can't wait to show you when you're next on board.
We're excited to announce our next-generation maglev train! 🚄
Using powerful repelling magnets and a little bit of magic, our all-new 'Hover Express' service cuts our Heathrow to Paddington journey time from 15 minutes to just 60 seconds! ⏱
Help us name our new trains! 🚄
To celebrate our new fleet, we're giving away three exciting prizes in conjunction with

. All you need to do is give us a hand in naming the trains. T&Cs Apply.
