Some early morning trains still went directly to Heathrow Terminals 1, 2, 3 to the confusion of some passengers.

Heathrow Terminals 1, 2, 3 has a double crossover directly to the east which can be seen from the platform. The station has six escalators of which two operate from the platform to the ticket hall area and two operate in the opposite direction; the other two connect the ticket hall area to the surface.

Trains may serve platform 1 from either direction but platform 2 may only be served by eastbound trains.
Now Terminal 5 is open, and once the transfer of airlines at Heathrow from other terminals is completed, the existing Terminal 2 will be demolished and a new terminal (called "Heathrow East") will be built in its place. This may mean that the station will need to be renamed, or at least have the reference to Terminal 2 removed from its name. Current proposals suggest the station will revert to its original name of Heathrow Central.
