What's the cheapest way of getting tickets? A day travelcard? |

Do you have to stop at Reading?The train use to go on to Twyford, Maidenhead then Slough. I thought it was only the fast train you had to stop at Reading which is normally more expensive. If you have to get off at Reading you can always catch a bus from straight outside the station to Windsor takes about 40 mins. To be honest though I would put my thumb out and hitch at least to Reading, Slough never had a problem in the past when I was a youngster. |

That journey will always involve two changes, once at Reading and then again at Slough. But you can still do it in well under 1½ hours if you choose the right trains.

This is a sign I am getting old - back in the 80's I had a girlfriend in Windsor, and regularly got the train there, but I can only remember having to change at Reading. My memory has wiped out Slough completely.

It is well recognised that the human mind will often attempt to eradicate memories of upsetting events or traumas in this way. Soldiers from war zones, for example, will often have little recollection of the horrors they had to face while they were in action. And in your case, it is not at all surprising that you brain has attempted to purge itself of any memory of passing through Slough. |

Windsor has two stations - one which serves between slough and windsor and one which goes out toward london. It is possible that 30 years ago trains would have gone from reading to windsor on that line. Slough is shit. |

Sorry, but no. To get to Windsor Riverside you would have to change at Reading and then again at Staines. |

OK, so I take a train. Change at Reading to Slough. Then Slough to Windsor and Eton Central?
Are all these trips valid via travelcard?

I know thats the case now. Just a suggestion that it could have been possible in the '80s. |
