===Past fleet===
The initial BAA/BR joint venture initially proposed use of [[Networker (train)|Networker]] trains, similar to those purchased elsewhere by [[Network SouthEast]] in the late 1980s and early 1990s.<ref name="Green-2014b">{{Cite book |last=Green |first=Chris |title=The Network SouthEast Story |last2=Vincent |first2=Mike |publisher=Oxford Publishing Co |year=2014 |pages=82 |isbn=978-0860936534 |language=en-GB}}</ref> Instead, 14 [[British Rail Class 332|Class 332]] trainsets were ordered from [[Siemens Transportation Systems]] in July 1994.<ref>{{cite magazine |date=September 1994 |title=Siemens scoops Heathrow Express order |magazine=[[Railway Gazette International]] |page=557 |language=en-GB}}</ref><ref name="Green-2014b" /> These were built by [[Construcciones y Auxiliar de Ferrocarriles|CAF]] with traction equipment supplied by Siemens, and first entered service in 1998.<ref name="BBC News-1998" /><ref>{{cite magazine |date=17 August 1994 |title=New Heathrow Express Class 332 EMU ordered |magazine=[[Rail (magazine)|Rail]] |page=9 |issue=233}}</ref> Additional carriages were ordered in 1998 to extend the trains firstly to four carriages, then in 2001 to extend 5 of the trains to five carriages in length.<ref name="Rail929">{{cite magazine |date=29 April 2021 |title=Farewell to Heathrow Express Class 332s |magazine=Rail |pages=36–37 |issue=929}}</ref><ref>{{cite magazine |date=30 May 2001 |title=Heathrow Express orders five more Class 332 trailers |magazine=Rail |page=11 |issue=410 |language=en-GB}}</ref>[[File:332002 TSO Internal.jpg|thumb|Refurbished standard class interior on a [[British Rail Class 332|Class 332]]]]
[[File:332002 DMFO Interior.jpg|thumb|Refurbished first class interior on a Class 332]]Until May 2018, Heathrow Express leased a singular [[British Rail Class 360|Class 360]] unit which operated the shuttle service between [[Heathrow Central railway station|Heathrow Central]] and [[Heathrow Terminal 4 railway station|Heathrow Terminal 4]].<ref>{{cite magazine |title=Heathrow Express livery for Connect 360 |magazine=The Railway Magazine |issue=1312 |date=August 2010 |page=72 }}</ref> Following the withdrawal of the Class 360 unit, all Heathrow Express services were operated by Class 332 units.
