Heathrow warns road access to Terminals 2 and 3 cut by flooding
Heathrow Airport has warned that flooding in its central terminal area is restricting road access to Terminals 2 and 3, leaving passengers unable to reach or leave those terminals by car, the airport said on Saturday.
The airport told passengers to travel by rail and tube instead and to avoid using cars. 'Our teams are working to resolve the situation as quickly as possible, we apologise for any disruption caused,' Heathrow said.
The disruption falls during the school holidays, which the airport described as one of its busiest periods. Heathrow said 19 July was its busiest day of the year so far, with 267,000 passengers passing through as many schools broke up for summer.
Heathrow was recently affected by a separate incident in which a water leak prompted the closure of a rail tunnel, disrupting railway services to the airport.
