TfL Ref: FOI-0613-1920

Thank you for your email received by Transport for London (TfL) on 28 May 2019.

Your request has been considered in accordance with the requirements of the Freedom of Information Act and our information access policy.  I can confirm we do hold the information you require. You asked:

The current service at Hanwell is two trains per hour towards London Paddington and two trains per hour towards Heathrow Terminal 4, Monday to Friday and Saturday.

From later this year, we are investigating the possibility of introducing a two trains per hour service on Sundays starting at 1005 (towards London) and 0942 (to Hayes & Harlington) and running until early evening . However this is dependent on the successful implementation of rolling stock modifications and validation of the timetable by Network Rail.

There are currently no further plans to change the frequency and service levels at Hanwell until the final Elizabeth line timetable is introduced, which we expect to be approximately 12 months after the new central London tunnel opens and services from Hanwell are connected to the new tunnel section. The proposed frequency is four trains per hour towards central London and four trains per hour towards Heathrow.

If this is not the information you are looking for, or if you are unable to access it for some reason, please do not hesitate to contact me.

Please see the attached information sheet for details of your right to appeal as well as information on copyright and what to do if you would like to re-use any of the information we have disclosed.

Yours sincerely
