I don't know exactly what you mean by railway station. Heathrow is connected to London Paddington by the Heathrow Express and also by Heathrow connect. There are no trains to other parts of the UK from Heathrow airport. www.heathrow.com will give you all information about Heathrow airport, including transport links.

Best check first - Just in case the 7 day ticket for the ZONEs that include Heathrow is a lot more expensive than the inner Zone 1 / 2 that are sufficient for most travellers/tourists.

John makes a good point about the tickets, you may well not need an all zones travelcard, which you would need to get from Heathrow. Depending on where you are statying, you could consider buying a single into the centre and buy a zone 1 and 2 travelcard which will take you to virtually all the major tourist sites.

The very best website for all matters relating to London transportation is this one.

Hope this assists,

Heathrow has several 'railway stations spread around the five terminals but there are direct services only to London and the western suburbs.

There is a good map here

http://www.heathrowairport.com/assets/Internet/Heathrow/Heathrow%20downloads/Static%20files/rail_routes_at_Heathrow.pdf

this map includes the bus connections to the national rail network via Reading and Woking.

The authorities are still arguing about the best means to connect Heathrow into the national rail network for those passengers not travelling to or from London itself and it will be many years before such a link is built, if ever.

Hope that helps.
