Hatton Cross is a London Underground station served by trains on the Heathrow branch of the Piccadilly Line . Located on the boundary between Travelcard Zone 5 and Zone 6 , the station opened on 19th July 1975 . At the time the station originally opened, it was a temporary terminus. Between 16th December 1977 and 12th April 1986 it was located between Hounslow West and the stub terminal Heathrow Central (known from 3rd October 1983 as Heathrow Central Terminals 1,2,3). Subsequently Heathrow Terminal 4 Station opened on a unidirectional loop track from Hatton Cross to Heathrow Terminals 1,2,3. This loop track carried most trains until the 7th January 2005 , when it closed in order to allow the construction of a new rail junction to link to the new Heathrow Terminal 5 Station , with all trains reverting to the original routing. When the new Terminal 5 station opens, probably in September 2006 , it is expected that every other train arriving at Hatton Cross will run via the Heathrow Terminal 4 loop, while the alternate trains will run direct to Heathrow Terminals 1,2,3 and then continue down the new branch to Heathrow Terminal 5. |
