Heathrow Express has launched its earliest-ever departure from London Paddington, operating at 4:34am Monday to Saturday. With over 400 flights departing Heathrow before 7am each month, this new service helps meet the rising demand for pre-dawn transport.
The 4:34am train is now the first service of the day to reach Heathrow, arriving just 15 minutes after departure and running non-stop to the terminal—perfect for passengers with tight check-in times, easing the stress of early-morning travel.
By booking 45 days or more in advance, travellers can snap up a one-way ticket for just £10.00, making Heathrow Express the go-to choice for those seeking speed, comfort, and reliability without the hefty price tag. With children under 15 travelling free, it’s an even smarter, cost-effective option for families.
Aoife Considine, Business Lead at Heathrow Express, said: “By looking closely at how and when our passengers travel, we identified a clear need for earlier services to help people reach 6am departures. Our new 4:34am train is designed to make those early flights easier to catch. With just a 15-minute journey from Central London to Heathrow, it’s a smarter and more efficient way to travel, helping you arrive calm, prepared, and with time to start your day right. It also offers a reliable and sustainable option for Heathrow colleagues commuting to earlier shifts, supporting both operational needs and our wider environmental goals.”
