Trains to Windsor & Eton Riverside - Station Details and further Information on Train Services
Windsor & Eton Riverside station is a station in Windsor in Berkshire, England. The station, close to the River Thames and Windsor Castle, is a grade II listed building. There is usually a half-hourly service to London Waterloo seven days a week, taking just over an hour to reach Waterloo.
It is the terminus of the Staines to Windsor Line and is served by South West Trains from Waterloo, some 26 miles to the east. It should not be mistaken for the nearby Windsor & Eton Central station, served by First Great Western trains from Slough station on the Great Western Main Line.
The station building was designed by William Tite as a royal station with a stone- faced frontage with a mullioned and transomed main window, gables and a multi-arch entrance. The main booking hall was decorative, but is now a wine bar. There is a spacious concourse under the train shed at the head of the platforms. The two platforms extend a considerable distance beyond the train shed.
The wall on south east (Datchet Road) side of the station forms a long curve, parallel with the platform, containing a series of arches with depressed heads. This wall links the station proper with the former Royal Waiting Room built for Queen Victoria. This is a small building of main room and ante rooms crowned by a turret with spirelet, and has Tudor arched windows. The interior of the main room has a ribbed ceiling with a pendant finial. |
