There will be no Elizabeth line or Heathrow Express trains to Heathrow Airport on Saturday 25 and Sunday 26 November due to works by Heathrow Airport.
Transport for London (TfL) is advising travellers of potential disruptions to their journeys because of routine maintenance including planned works to deliver mobile coverage on the Elizabeth Line.
The Elizabeth line between Paddington and Abbey Wood, will have no service all weekend (25 and 26 November).
Piccadilly line trains will run from central London to Heathrow Terminals 2 & 3 and Terminal 4, but only buses will run to Terminal 5 TfL has said.
On Sunday 26 November, due to Network Rail signalling upgrades and work for HS2 at Old Oak Common, rail replacement buses will run west of Ealing Broadway in the morning with limited train services starting later in the day.
Howard Smith, Elizabeth line Director, said: "We appreciate it is a complex weekend of closures with Network Rail, TfL and Heathrow Airport all carrying out works which may cause some disruption to customers.
"These works were planned several months in advance and should help ensure that the Elizabeth line infrastructure operates reliably. Network Rail and HS2 are also preparing for their new railway and station at Old Oak Common which will also mean some future closures.
"I apologise for any impact on journeys over the weekend and would advise customers to check before they travel using TfL's travel tools, and plan in advance as trains and rail replacement buses may be busy."
TfL advises customers to plan ahead allow for extra travel time and to use its travelling tools, Journey Planner and TfL Go.
