Windsor to Waterloo
No station or platform changes to make
From Windsor and Eton Riverside Station the train will take you straight to Waterloo, albeit rather more slowly than the Paddington service. However, Waterloo is more central than Paddington and this service may be more convenient for the City of London, and certainly is better for the South Bank complex, Royal Festival Hall and London Eye.
Journey time Windsor - Waterloo. 50 - 55 minutes. Several stops. Train passes mainly to the north of the river through Staines as far as Richmond, thereafter south via Clapham Junction, among others, to Waterloo, on the South Bank of the Thames in London.
