This has caused disruption for both commuters and travellers heading to and from the popular airport.

A Transport for London update points to faulty fire equipment at Heathrow as the reason.

National Rail said a fire alarm went off at one of the stations between the Heathrow Terminals.

It was evacuated while emergency services and staff investigate it.

National Rail said: “The fire alarm sounding at a station between Heathrow Terminal 4 and Heathrow Terminals 2 & 3 means that the line is closed.

“Elizabeth line trains operating to / from these stations may be cancelled or revised as a result.

“Station staff and emergency services are currently investigating the incident and for safety reasons, the station has been evacuated and trains are no longer able to stop at Heathrow Terminal 4.”

The rest of the Elizabeth Line has good service.
