According to the latest news, two trains collided on near London's Paddington Station. I know the station, but I can't recalled exactly where is located. Any info? comments? A lot of posters were heading to London with the latest BA fares.

They were commuter trains (the Thames Link and the train in from Oxford. The trains were full - peak time at about 8.10am. <BR>No tourists should be affected except for delays on trains in and out of Paddington. Paddington is where the Heathrow Express comes into, and I would say that this will not be running today (I think it usually comes in on the same tracks as the train from Oxford). This is the same piece of track on which there was a crash in 97. For the latest update check out www.bbc.co.uk - there are 6 dead so far but this will probably grow. Up to 100 people are trapped (it will be possible to know how many exactly will be on the train). Its a huge tragedy, and shake up for the train companies. <BR>

Heathrow Express trains are running today, Oct. 6th, from Ealing Broadway. I believe it is a free service today. <BR>www.railtrack.co.uk should have more information. <BR>Don't expect the lines into and out of Paddington to be open till the end of the week.

That should be Ealing, not Ealing Broadway.

What a terrible accident. The casualties keep climbing. I was on that Oxford train just one week ago, only at 10 a.m. instead of the rush hour. Scary!

<BR>What is the statuson trainsfrom Heathrow to Paddington, arriving the 13th, re routing going on?

This is the latest update: <BR>Heathrow Express Service Update <BR>We regret that Paddington mainline station is currently closed to all rail services, including Heathrow Express. <BR>Heathrow Express is providing services every 30 minutes free of charge from 0530 to 2300 hours between Heathrow and Ealing Broadway.
