GWR train in Windsor & Eton Central Station

About

Great Western Railway's (GWR) rail network connects the most popular cities, historic towns and beautiful regions in south west England and Wales. 

It's easy to travel to both Windsor and Eton Central and Maidenhead with Great Western Railway (GWR).  GWR operates services between London Paddington, Reading and Oxford, as well as destinations across their vast network, from the sights of South Wales and the West of England.

Change trains at Slough to catch the 6-minute branch line service to Windsor and Eton Central.

GWR's state-of-the-art Intercity Express Trains on mainlines offer more seats, free Wi-Fi and at-seat power sockets, so travel time needn’t be wasted time. Travel from London Paddington to Slough in as little as 13 minutes, or from London Paddington to Windsor and Eton Central in approximately 35 minutes (dependant on connections and stopping patterns).
