Heathrow Express is set to launch automated check-in services for air passengers at London’s Paddington station yesterday [December 2nd].
The new service will allow travellers to check in for their flights using automated self-service machines, before taking the train to Heathrow. It is the first time these common use self-service machines have been used at a UK railway station.
Explaining the new service, a spokesperson for Heathrow Express said: “It’s a touchscreen machine, much like the ones that you use at the airport. You pick the airline that you’re flying with and that takes you to the flight.”
You can then check in for your flight, as you would at the airport, and “out pops your boarding card and then you get on the train and go.”
