Heathrow Express is cutting its adult single ticket price by more than 50% over Easter weekend in a bid to win more leisure customers.

The company, which runs non-stop services between Paddington and Heathrow, is lowering the price from £21.50 down to £10 for the four-day holiday weekend, Good Friday April 3 to Bank Holiday Monday April 6 only.

Although Network Rail engineers on the Crossrail scheme will be working on the tracks between Paddington and Heathrow, Heathrow Express expects to run services at normal frequency - every 15 minutes - throughout the long weekend.

Fraser Brown, director of Heathrow Express, said: “We are offering £10 single tickets to encourage people who would not normally use our service to give it a try.

“Two thirds of the 17,000 passengers who use our service are on business. We want leisure customers to use it, too.”

· Heathrow Express topped the autumn National Rail Passenger Survey, published in January by Consumer Focus, with 94% for 'overall satisfaction.' It is a non-stop train service between Paddington station and Heathrow. With its electric trains taking 15 minutes, every 15 minutes, it is the fastest, most reliable and most sustainable way to travel to and from Britain's hub airport.
