    Windsor Royal Station is a nice little shopping mall located in the heart of Windsor, right across…read morethe way from Windsor Castle. It serves as a shopping mall and a train station. You'll find shops for apparel and accessories, fragrance, jewelry, and even cigars. There's also a number of eateries, coffee shops, and a pretty little milk tea/boba cafe. Whether you just want to grab and go or sit down and relax, there's something for everyone. We browsed around for a bit, but mostly went there to check out the pretty milk tea shop which was surprisingly tasty! The decor was lovely as well and I can still taste that wonderful cheese tea topping. Overall, it's a nice, quick stop while in Windsor. They do close quite early at 6pm (except on Sundays, they close at 5pm), so plan accordingly.

    Now I'm not sure if Windsor Royal Station is considered to be where the solitary train track is and…read morethe ticket window, or if it's the whole building that consists of shops, several restaurants and cafes and even an art gallery. I'll assume that it's the whole thing. The train side of the whole thing is, as I said, just one track. The train goes into the nearby town/city of Slough. And I'm pretty sure that is the only place that it goes. From there you change trains for other destinations such as London in one direction and Reading in another. There is also another train station that is about a 10-15 minute walk from this one though and I caught that train the other day to Twickenham (London) to see the rugby. Overall, it's a nice old-y world-y comfortable feeling that the place gives you. You can shop at the outdoor (really indoor) market stall or have a cup of coffee or even a really good meal at one of the cafes and/or restaurants. Obviously a great place to be when its raining outside.

    There really isn't all that much left of this station, except for a platform with a single track…read morewhere the train basically runs a shuttle from Slough to here. However, the station building itself is still standing, but it is now basically a shopping mall. It is interesting to see all of the people come out here first thing in the morning, mainly to ride their bikes, but also to go for walks in the park. While it is a shadow of its former self, the fact that it is still standing, and that the station building has 1been repurposed is pretty cool.

    Windsor & Eton station was opened in 1849 by the Great Western Railway, and is the terminus of a…read moreshort branch from Slough, on the main line from London Paddington. It is centrally located, almost opposite the entrance to Windsor Castle. The station is at the end of an impressive curved brick viaduct leading to the Windsor Railway Bridge, which was designed by Brunel and is one of the oldest wrought iron railway bridges still in use. The original station was rebuilt in 1897 for Queen Victoria's Diamond Jubilee, with 5 platforms and graceful curved glass roofs. Reduced in size since the 1960s, much of the station has been developed into a shopping arcade, and the trains terminate in a short single platform almost hidden at the rear of the building. The station was the location of a Madame Tussaud's exhibit from 1982 until the late 1990s. The only remnant of this is a replica of the Great Western "Dean Single" Class locomotive, named "the Queen". (The real original was assigned to Royal train duties.) Services to Slough operate every 20 minutes, and take just 6 minutes, for frequent fast connections to Paddington, Oxford and Reading.

Other than that, while it's a covered station (really, it's the bottom level of a parking garage/car park) the sides are open, which doesn't protect you from the temps. But at least it's easy to navigate, and the stands are clearly marked and arranged by direction (e.g., all buses to Windsor leave from stand 8).

    Slough Borough Council built it in June 2011, it cost a cool 12M…read more so they could "make a statement" to show Slough deserves a second look. They forgot about the basic needs of someone waiting for a bus. The buses are not that frequent...between every 30 minutes to around 90 minutes. A three mile journey to the residential areas can easily take over 30 minutes, plus waiting time. The only shelter is provided to the BUS DRIVERS who have an air conditioned canteen The PAYING COMMUTER gets treated like dirt, that is why they pay a bomb for the so called "service" and have to tolerate THIRD WORLD conditions: NO PROTECTION from wind, rain or snow NO ADEQUATE SEATS NO TOILETS NO WAITING ROOM it's only useful if you are coming from the train station to Windsor or Heathrow where buses are a bit more frequent. For locals it is a taxpayers nightmare, especially for the elderly and disabled, or those with young children, pushchairs or heavy bags. The old station was really ugly This new station is really useless
