Heathrow to Windsor
 
We have a layover at Heathrow (about 8 hours) and would like to head to Windsor Castle. I searched here and saw it costs about 20 pounds in a taxi. Is that roundtrip? Does anyone have info on the bus service from Heathrow to Windsor? Is there a webpage where I can get more info?<BR>Thanks for any help you can give me!

Thanks Ron, that is very helpful. Do you have any idea about the taxi cost?<BR>

Beth<BR><BR>Here's another website to try (I haven't actually looked there)<BR>http://www.windsor. gov.uk/transport/taxi.htm.<BR><BR>As far as I can gather, it's 20 pounds each way for a cab vs 3.50 for a bus. <BR>

But the &pound;20 is for the cab full - so for two it is &pound;10 pp, for a family of 4 it would be &pound;5 pp. Whereas the bus is &pound;3.50 pp, &pound;7 for 2, &pound;10.50 for 3 and so forth. For the convenience - unless you are on a very tight budget, take a cab. You want to make the best use of your time.
