**Heathrow Airport Train Service Disrupted by Trackside Fire**

**Investigation Underway Following Brief Service Interruptions Between London and Heathrow Terminal 5**


**Passengers faced delays as fire caused temporary disruption to train operations, raising concerns over infrastructure resilience.**

In a developing situation, train services between Heathrow Airport and central London faced interruptions on Wednesday morning due to a fire near the rail tracks. Commuters traveling from Paddington Station to Terminal 5 experienced cancellations and delays of up to 30 minutes, according to National Rail’s incident report.

Authorities have not disclosed the specific location of the fire or its cause, but the rail lines have since reopened with expectations that disruptions would continue until noon local time. This incident follows a significant power outage last month when a fire at an electrical substation forced Heathrow—one of the world's busiest airports—to shut down operations for nearly an entire day. That previous closure had a ripple effect, stranding thousands of passengers globally.

National Rail has been providing updates on the status of the service as the situation unfolds. Meanwhile, there has been no official comment from either the London Fire Brigade or Heathrow Airport regarding the latest train service disruptions.
