Enjoy Heathrow Airport’s brand new Terminal 5 station. If you love the comfort of trains, then it will be useful to know that Heathrow Express’ journey time is 21 minutes to Terminal 5, after departure from London’s Paddington station. Trains leave every 15 minutes, with a stop after 15 minutes at Heathrow Central (servicing Terminals 1, 2, 3 & 4), for passengers to alight the train before arriving at Terminal 5. The other train alternative to T5 is the tube. The tube station at T5 is chic, modern and luggage-friendly. There are luggage trolleys waiting when you step out of the tube and a completely hands-free lift to take you to the departure terminal. The first train Heathrow Express train to Paddington station will depart Terminal 5 at 05h07 and the last train to Paddington station will depart Terminal 5 at 23h42.

France's TGV high-speed rail service offers Internet and multimedia portal throughout Europe
In response to business and leisure travellers’ needs, France's TGV high-speed rail service has become a world-first by offering Internet and multimedia portal on its trains. As mobility in Europe is border-free, the new service is being trialled with passengers travelling to and from Switzerland, Germany and Luxembourg.
TGV customers with Wi-Fi ready laptops will be able to surf the net, watch full-length videos, keep track of the train's progress on a map and check travelling speeds, watch TV news, consult their company Intranet, book a restaurant or a show, play games, etc throughout their journey. The service will be available in both first and second-class.
The full-scale pilot service is currently available on three TGV train sets, including an international one which travels alternately in the 3 countries. The infrastructure on which it is based is deployable to the entire TGV fleet. After a successful first test phase launch in December 2007 in France in which 6,000 TGV customers participated, the test programme has now been extended to international services for its second phase.
