Hatton Cross Tube StationHatton 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 19 July 1975. At the time the station originally opened, it was located between Hounslow West station and the stub terminal Heathrow Terminals 1,2,3 station (then simply known as Heathrow station). 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. This situation is expected to last until September 2006. When the new Terminal 5 station opens, it is anticipated that the service pattern will be that every other train arriving at Hatton Cross will run via the Heathrow Terminal 4 loop, whilst the alternate trains will run direct to Heathrow Terminals 1,2,3 and then continue down the new branch to Heathrow Terminal 5.
