Passengers faced major travel disruption at Heathrow Airport on Saturday after a burst water pipe stopped all train services for hours. A signal failure caused by flooding at Terminals 2 and 3 affected the Elizabeth Line and Heathrow Express from early morning. Many travellers were left frustrated, with one passenger paying £150 for a taxi home because of the delays.
