Windsor & Eton Central station is one of two terminal stations serving the town of Windsor. The station is the terminus of the Slough to Windsor & Eton line and is served by a shuttle service of trains from Slough operated by First Great Western. Windsor's other station, Windsor and Eton Riverside, is the terminus for the South West Trains service from London Waterloo. When it was originally opened on 8 October 1849 it was named simply Windsor, the station was renamed twice: first to Windsor & Eton in 1904, and then, following nationalisation of the railways, to Windsor & Eton Central in 1949. Although a small part is still a railway station, most of the station building has been converted into a tourist-oriented shopping centre, called Windsor Royal Shopping. It is situated on the High Street, almost immediately opposite Castle Hill, the main public entrance to Windsor Castle.
