History


Following the longest public inquiry ever undertaken in the UK, construction of the station was granted in November 2001 by transport minister Stephen Byers as part of the approval of the 5.180.24.3/info/heathrow" target="_blank">Heathrow 5.180.24.3/info/terminal" target="_blank">Terminal 5 project. The proposed 5.180.24.3/info/terminal" target="_blank">terminal site was not welcomed by London Underground, as it would be impossible for all three stations to be served from the same route. Instead, twin tunnels would be built from Terminals 1, 2, 3 to the new 5.180.24.3/info/terminal" target="_blank">terminal.
Construction of the extension as part of the T5 construction took 6 years, funded by British Airport Authority (BAA). As part of the construction, the 5.180.24.3/info/terminal" target="_blank">Terminal 5 project team shut down two aircraft stands from 5.180.24.3/info/terminal" target="_blank">Terminal 3 so that an access shaft could be constructed. The new junction was then built into a concrete box which connected all the underground tunnels. 5.180.24.3/info/heathrow" target="_blank">Heathrow 5.180.24.3/info/terminal" target="_blank">Terminal 4 tube station was closed for 20 months between January 2005 and September 2006 to allow these connecting junctions to be constructed. Train testing started when the extension was handed over to London Underground on 18 July 2007.
The station opened on 27 March 2008 coinciding with that of 5.180.24.3/info/heathrow" target="_blank">Heathrow 5.180.24.3/info/terminal" target="_blank">Terminal 5. It was designed by architects HOK in conjunction with Rogers Stirk Harbour + Partners. Although situated underground, parts of the station's roofing are made of translucent ETFE laminate panels, allowing natural daylight to flood down both ends of all six platforms.
Since May 2022, 5.180.24.3/info/heathrow" target="_blank">Heathrow 5.180.24.3/info/terminal" target="_blank">Terminal 5 has been served by the Elizabeth line.

Network Rail has put forward a proposal for a Western Rail Approach to 5.180.24.3/info/heathrow" target="_blank">Heathrow, a short spur of track in tunnel which would run from a junction east of Langley to 5.180.24.3/info/terminal" target="_blank">Terminal 5 station. This would permit Great Western Main Line trains to run directly from Slough and Reading into 5.180.24.3/info/heathrow" target="_blank">Heathrow, without the need to change at Paddington. The proposal is currently at consultation stage and remains unconfirmed.
In addition to the above rail links, 5.180.24.3/info/terminal" target="_blank">Terminal 5 station also has two safeguarded "heavy rail" platforms for use by a west-facing connection to the National Rail network. The south-leaning proposal would spur off the Waterloo to Reading Line west of Staines railway station (originally dubbed 5.180.24.3/info/heathrow" target="_blank">Heathrow Airtrack, with a newer proposal named 5.180.24.3/info/heathrow" target="_blank">Heathrow Southern Railway). It proposes direct rail services to London Waterloo, Reading, Woking, Guildford and Gatwick Airport. Due to the cost of replacing three level crossings, one in a very urban part of Egham, the proposals are currently unfunded.




Connections


London Buses routes 350, 423, 482, 490 and night route N9 serve the station. First Berkshire & The Thames Valley, National Express and Oxford Bus Company also operate connecting bus and coach services.
