Cabs at Slough Station: Trains, the Taxi Rank & Getting Home
A local guide to Slough station — which trains stop here, the Windsor branch line, and the easiest ways to get from the station to your door.
Which Trains Stop at Slough?
Slough station is one of the busiest in Berkshire. It's served by:
- Elizabeth line — direct to Paddington, Bond Street, Tottenham Court Road and on across central London, plus west to Reading
- GWR — faster services between London Paddington and Reading, and the branch line shuttle to Windsor & Eton Central
The Windsor Branch Line
If you're heading to Windsor, the GWR shuttle from Slough to Windsor & Eton Central takes only a few minutes. It's handy with light luggage, but you'll still need to get from Windsor station to your final address.
Heading to Heathrow?
There's no direct train from Slough to Heathrow — you change at Hayes & Harlington for the Elizabeth line's Heathrow branch. A taxi is often quicker. See our Heathrow to Slough taxi fares.
Cabs at Slough Station — Rank or Pre-Book?
There is a taxi rank at the station, but cabs aren't always waiting — particularly late in the evening or when several busy trains arrive at once. Pre-booked cabs at Slough station avoid the queue: tell us your train and the driver will be there when you come out.
