Ealing to Windsor Castle or Hampton Court Palace
Hello.
I will be in London 1 week in early July, and will be staying around Ealing. I want to visit Windsor Castle and Hampton Court Palace. Are there any direct public transport (bus, train, etc.) between Ealing and these sites? The obvious solution is to take the Tube, but as I will be so close, is it worth hassling with going through Central London? Please advise. Thanks in advance.

Ealing is big, and there are several different tube stations with "Ealing" in their name. Some might be very inconvenient for you. The fastish route by train (not tube) from Ealing Broadway, changing at Slough, to Windsor might not make any sense at all in your case for example.
The only universal answer to your question is to insert the full postcode (as in W1A 1AA) of where you're staying into the planner at www.transportdirect.info. The journey planner at http://www.tfl.gov.uk/ won't work for you since Windsor is outside the TfL area, and way beyond the tube system

For the couple of quid the Ealingish-Windsor, or the bits of London-Hampton trains are going to cost you in real money, wasting a daysworth of the usually hokey railway pass the American travel agency Britrail (no such company exists in Britain) sells to the unwary might turn out astonishingly expensive. But Britrail passes will work on trains to Windsor.
I've never heard of the London Transport Card, so I've no idea where this is supposed to be valid. Nor has anyone else in Britain. Is this another ripoff invented by an American travel agency?
