The Elizabeth line is fully electrified, so why wouldn't the issue be power to the trains themselves rather than the stations?

- Symbiote 2y agoOther trains are running on the main line through the area. It's 25kV electrification, there's plenty of distance between feeder substations. National Rail say [1] "An unadvertised shuttle service is running from Heathrow Terminals to London Paddington to ensure customers and colleagues can leave the airport" so trains can and are running, they just don't want flight passengers to go to the airport.
