TfL has reported that the Heathrow Terminal 4 railway station closed while staff responded to a security alert.
The railway station at Heathrow’s Terminal 4 was temporarily closed on Wednesday morning due to a security alert.
The alert related to a suspicious package and that the station has since reopened.
Transport for London (TfL) posted on X at just after 10am: “This station is closed while we respond to a security alert. Tickets are being accepted on London Buses via any reasonable route.”
A Heathrow spokesperson said: “Police responded to a suspicious package earlier today. The situation has been resolved.”
The incident lasted about 20 minutes and the airport is now operating normally.
