Heathrow Terminals 2 & 3 tube station

Heathrow Terminals 2 & 3 is a London Underground station at Heathrow Airport on the Heathrow branch of the Piccadilly line, and currently serves Heathrow Terminal 2 and Terminal 3. The station was named Heathrow Terminals 1, 2, 3 until January 2016, when the station was renamed to coincide with the closure of Heathrow Terminal 1. Despite the renaming of station, the signage on the platform as well as the announcements in the trains still say Heathrow Terminals 1, 2, 3. The station is situated in Travelcard Zone 6. Heathrow Terminals 2 & 3 railway station is nearby, though there is no direct interchange between the two stations.

The station opened as Heathrow Central on 16 December 1977 as the final phase of the Piccadilly line's extension from Hounslow West to the airport. The preceding station, Hatton Cross, had opened as the interim terminus in 1975. At its opening, the station served as the terminus of what became known as the Heathrow branch of the line – previously it had been the Hounslow branch. It was the first time that an airport had been directly served by an underground railway system.
