Now they can start building the railway... :-)

Funny you should say that.

Well, I never...! :-)



"What is more curious is that it looks like there will be 2tph off-peak
that will run from London all stations to West Drayton, then fast to
Slough, then fast to Maidenhead. This appears to be making best use of
limited capacity by extending a suburban metro service to Slough to
provide a better service to that town. It will also provide a much
better service for the tourist market to Windsor. The continuation fast
to Maidenhead is merely in order to terminate at the first opportunity."

Given the cost of the project, it seems a shame that if they want to
provide a service for Windsor they couldn't have built a tunnel at
Slough and actually gone to Windsor. But I don't understand why they
don't turn at Slough... is the bay platform gone?


Agreed, omitting the Windsor branch was an error.
