Heathrow Terminal 5 station is a shared railway station currently under construction to serve Terminal 5, which is under construction at London Heathrow Airport. The station will be staffed by BAA staff unlike the underground stations at Heathrow Terminal 4 and Terminals 1-3.

When completed (due for March 2008)^[1], it is anticipated that the Terminal 5 station will be served by the following rail services:

Piccadilly Line: half the trains on the Heathrow branch will terminate here, via Hatton Cross and Heathrow Terminals 1,2,3. The other half will run via Hatton Cross, Heathrow Terminal 4 and Heathrow Terminals 1,2,3, and back to Hatton Cross.

Heathrow Express: will terminate here. Heathrow Terminal 4 will become the terminus for Heathrow Connect.

It will also have platforms for use by a west-facing connection to the National Rail network, if and when such a connection may be built. This proposed link to Staines is called AirTrack.

There are currently no plans to connect terminals 4 and 5 by a direct rail service.
