A blaze near Heathrow Airport has sent rush hour into chaos, shutting down a key station disrupting travel plans with delays expected until noon. Commuters are experiencing significant delays on routes between London Paddington and Heathrow Terminals, with the situation predicted to persist for several hours.
In a social media post, National Rail said: "NEW: A fire in the Heathrow area means trains are currently unable to call at #HeathrowTerminals."
The incident took place only hours following a tragic traffic collision in Feltham, which claimed three lives and resulted in a separate fire close to the airport. According to the authorities, the H26 bus collided directly with a silver Mercedes on a railway bridge this past Monday night.
Heathrow Airport has been approached for comment.
