Windsor Castle

Like a Fool I left both my iPad and AirPods in the car when my husband dropped me off when we were leaving. So I don’t have my prior helps from my dear forum friends. My daughter desperately wants to go to Windsor Castle. How can I find the train schedule from Paddington to Windsor thru Slough. Cost for train. Never took it.

To answer your question directly-

leaves Paddington at 8 and 38 minutes past each hour, including the change at Slough, arrives at Windsor and Eton Central at 36 and 16 minutes past the hour respectively.

Cost £13.60 each, Off Peak Day Return. Pay by Contactless or buy a paper ticket. Same fare.

Returns leave Windsor at 40 and 20 minutes past each hour, arriving Paddington at 20 and 50 minutes past each hour respectively. (the latter arrival varies on certain hours by a few minutes)

If paying by a contactless method the through fare each way from Tower Hill (or any other Zone 1 station) is £9.50 each way- so £19 return.
