Default London Windsor Roundtrip with Travelcard

Gentlemen,

is anyone able to tell me if there is an opportunity to go to Windsor
from London by train using a travelcard. Just a hint. Will be able to
help myself once I know which train company to choose.

Thx

Peter

No. You will need an extension from the boundary of your Travelcard to
Windsor and Eton Central or Windsor and Eton Riverside.

Thanks Michael.
Does that mean, regardless which train company I use, I only have to pay
the fare starting at the boundary of i.e. zone 6 ?

Thanks Peter

Yes. If you already have a Zone 1-6 Travelcard then you can buy a cheap
day return from Boundary Zone 6 to, say, Windsor and Eton Central. I
believe this will be cheaper than a ticket to Windsor and Eton Riverside.

Outward travel not valid before 09:30. Travel not valid on certain
services departing London Paddington between 1600-1915.

again many thanks Michael,

you helped me alot. Will see which trains will leave from Waterloo
station, as our hotel is around the corner.

Looking forward to visiting your beautiful capital after 27 years again.

Peter

Those are the Southwest Trains services to Windsor and Eton Riverside.
Looks like they leave at :28 and :58 after most hours. There's currently
a special combined train/castle admission ticket (if that's where you're
going) on SWT but I don't know if that will work with a BZ6 ticket or not.
