On Sunday 20th May, the former GWR Heathrow Connect services between Paddington and Heathrow T4 transferred over to TfL. This service has retained the existing class 360s for the time being on the T4 services due to current incompatibilities between the BAA Heathrow signalling and the new Class 345s. Going forward, these services will also be run by the new Class 345s to T4, (and then T5 from 2019).

Monday 21st May saw the introduction of the Class 345s into passenger service on the Great Western side, running between Paddington and Hayes & Harlington, as the Hayes short workings are not timetabled to operate on Sundays. These workings used to be operated by 8-car GWR Class 387 Electrostars.
