Heathrow Connect suspended due to 'unforeseen fleet issues'

The train service linking Heathrow Airport and Paddington has been suspended due to 'unforeseen fleet issues'.

It is not known when the Heathrow Connect service, which should run every 30 minutes, will be running again.

A Great Western Railway spokesman said anyone booked on the Heathrow Connect should change at Hays & Harlinton to get the bus replacement services.

He said the problem is caused by "potential issues" with some Heathrow Express trains so the Connect ones are being used for that service instead.
