I know thats the case now. Just a suggestion that it could have been possible in the '80s.
'Fraid not. You've always had to change at Staines to get back to Windsor. |

Yes a travel card is for use in London which will cost more any way. You just need a return from Swindon to Windsor. www.fgw.co.uk will be show you times and fares. |

Put in the destination and departure places, and the times.. It opens a new window and continues to load... Won't load. |

Off-peak return is 36 squid. Darn, I thought it'd be cheaper.

Works for me.
Super Off-peak return is £28.60 first train that it seems to be valid on is 10:41 from Swindon arrives in Windsor at 11:56.
Might be able to get it cheaper by splitting it but i'm not sure how complicated you want to make it!

I'm not too sure what the official time is in Swindon, cause I don't live there. Maybe a local commuter can help there?
But it appears Off-peak starts at 9:30 and then also you have Super off-peak that starts around 10:40. But you return journey will also affect the price.
So are you returning on the same day and what time? Because it could be during the evening peak.

Rather than being on here can I suggest 5 minutes on Google to answer all your questions. Actually have I fallen into a trap here? |

Being a Windsor boy I remember the steam trains coming into Windsor Central, had my cut in the barbers which was alongside the platform now a posh restaurant and watching the crumpet coming in from all over the world to visit beautiful Windsor Castle.
In the old days you use to get off at Slough from the west or east and walk straight onto the Slough-Windsor train with a maximum of a five minute wait.
Going to London use to buy a Windsor-Slough return and get off at Paddington and most of the times made it without being caught, same on the way back. Now that was a cheap day ticket.
Still love Windsor, just a shame it has lost most of its pubs.

Go to the train station,buy a fucking ticket (there's a person selling them behind a desk with "tickets" on it ) and fucking go. I can't believe anyone would ask this many questions about catching a train.What the fuck...
Its just ocurred to me that this is a wind up
