Trains
Windsor has excellent rail connections, and boasts two stations, both centrally-located and recently renovated. The stations are shown below. Up-to-date train timetables can be found on Trainline’s website.
Windsor Central Station
is located just opposite Windsor Castle. Trains from this station connect with the mainline station at Slough, just a few minutes journey. At Slough you can change for London Paddington or the west coast mainline. This is the fastest way to get from Windsor to London, although you will need to take a short underground journey from Paddington if you are travelling into central London. It is also the route to Oxford, Henley-on-Thames and Stratford-upon-Avon.
Windsor and Eton Riverside Station
is located at the bottom of the hill below the castle, a few minutes walk. Trains from this station link directly with London Waterloo, a journey of approximately 55 minutes. Eurostar services from Paris, Brussels and Lille arrive and depart from Waterloo.
