This is all that is left for railway use on the site of what is today the Windsor Royal Shopping complex. The station was once a vast place with four long platforms, a grand public entrance, the even grander entrance to the royal waiting rooms Image and a substantial three-storey frontage Image It was last used by royalty in May 1968 after which time it began to fall into decay until the site started to be redeveloped for the shopping complex from 1980 onwards. Ironically the present single-platform station probably handles more public traffic today than the old station ever did during most of its existence.
