Rail passengers heading to Heathrow experienced significant delays and cancellations as a fire incident affected transport services connecting the airport to central London. According to National Rail, reports indicated that train delays could extend up to 30 minutes, although the exact cause of the fire remains unidentified. The situation has drawn attention, especially in light of a previous fire that occurred at an electrical substation last month, causing Heathrow Airport to close for nearly an entire day.

Both the London Fire Brigade and officials from Heathrow Airport have yet to comment on the most recent incident, leaving passengers and commuters seeking clarity on the safety and resilience of the airport's transport infrastructure. As thousands of travelers are impacted, this incident raises further questions regarding the preparedness and reliability of services at one of the busiest airports in the world.
