Trains between central London and Heathrow are badly disrupted on Monday due to damaged overhead power cables.
Heathrow Express is running a reduced operation while Elizabeth line trains between Paddington and the airport are also affected, with no service to and from Terminal 5.
Meanwhile, Gatwick Airport trains are back up and running after the discovery of sinkholes at a railway bridge in Purley, south London, on Sunday sparked hours of travel chaos.

Gatwick trains are back up and running after sink holes caused major disruption
07:51 , Megan Howe
Engineers carrying out essential work on rail lines outside Purley came across several sinkholes requiring "urgent repairs" on Sunday.
As a result, all lines between Purley and East Croydon were shut down to protect passenger safety, ahead of an inspection from a structural engineer.
The sudden closure of Sunday services from London to Gatwick Airport and Brighton caused havoc for thousands of rail passengers.
But the issue has now been resolved, with services operating as normal.
