=== Heathrow Connect to Elizabeth line ===
In June 2005, Heathrow Express began jointly providing a new [[Heathrow Connect]] service, which saw a new twice-hourly stopping service on the same route between Paddington and Heathrow using {{brc|360}} EMUs from the [[Siemens Desiro]] family. Heathrow Airport Holdings had provided the on-board staff through Heathrow Express as part of the contract.<ref>{{Cite magazine |url=https://www.railwaygazette.com/news/single-view/view/heathrow-connect-close-to-takeoff.html |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20190624163616/https://www.railwaygazette.com/news/single-view/view/heathrow-connect-close-to-takeoff.html |url-status=dead |archive-date=24 June 2019 |title=Heathrow Connect close to takeoff |magazine=Railway Gazette |date=24 June 2019 |access-date=9 March 2020 }}</ref> This continued until May 2018, when Heathrow Connect was absorbed into [[TfL Rail]] ahead of the new [[Crossrail]] project.<ref>{{Cite press release |url=https://tfl.gov.uk/info-for/media/press-releases/2018/may/tfl-to-operate-heathrow-connect-services-ahead-of-elizabeth-line-opening |title=TfL to operate Heathrow Connect services ahead of Elizabeth line opening |website=Transport for London |access-date=9 March 2020 |archive-date=17 December 2019 |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20191217170053/https://tfl.gov.uk/info-for/media/press-releases/2018/may/tfl-to-operate-heathrow-connect-services-ahead-of-elizabeth-line-opening |url-status=live |language=en-GB}}</ref> In May 2022, TfL Rail services were rebranded as the [[Elizabeth line]], with through trains running through central London from November 2022.<ref name="Caswell-2022">{{Cite web |last=Caswell |first=Mark |date=26 August 2022 |title=Elizabeth Line to offer direct services from Heathrow to central London from November |url=https://www.businesstraveller.com/business-travel/2022/08/26/elizabeth-line-to-offer-direct-services-from-heathrow-to-central-london-from-november/ |access-date=27 August 2022 |work=Business Traveller |language=en-GB}}</ref> Heathrow Express services will continue to terminate at London Paddington.<ref name="Caswell-2022" />
