The Dukes of Norfolk are better known as the Howard family, which indirectly provided two wives to King Henry VIII.

The new services will all be weekday Elizabeth line trains starting from Heathrow Terminal 5. Each station - Southall, Hanwell and Acton Main Line - will get three more trains than it does currently, all between the hours of 7.30am and 9am.
