A replica of a Heathrow Express train made entirely from cake has been unveiled to mark the 15th anniversary of the airport service. The 4m-long (13ft) edible locomotive at Paddington Station has been created from sponge, fondant icing and chocolate by a team of bakers. Passengers using the service have been offered slices of the cake, which took 30 hours to make. The £440m Heathrow Express rail link opened to passengers in June 1998.
