Hi there..I have arranged a birthday surprise for someone, and we will be traveling to london. His sister lives there and I would like to take him to see her. This will involve taking public transport from central london to windsor, has anyone any idea of the best bus/train route to take as i havent got a clue!!!! Many thanks Susan

1. Hi Susan, It depends whereabouts in London you are starting from, as London is a big place. Let me know if you have the info. I wouldn't bother with the buses, TBH. Probably the best route is by rail from the London Paddington overground station - you can get here relatively easily from any Tube station in London - to Slough train station (west of London). Then from Slough you get a train for one stop to Windsor. The whole journey from Paddington should take you no more than an hour or so, in addition to the time it takes you to get to Paddington obviously. I think you can also catch one train from London Waterloo station, but it stops at loads more stations so will take longer, plus the Windsor station is called " Windsor & Eton Riverside". Not sure if that is of any use to you.
2. Windsor is served by frequent train services from either London Waterloo or London Paddington, whichever is the closest to you. From Waterloo trains run direct to Windsor and take 53 minutes; from Paddington they take 35 minutes with a change at Slough.
3. Easiest would be to get the tube to Waterloo then get a train to Windsor - its around a 45 minute journey
