How old are the children?

And I have just remembered - the Elizabeth Line isn't serving Stratford between Christmas and New Year due to engineering work, you will need to use the Central Line.

I'm not clear at this stage if the Paddington-Abbey Wood section of the Elizabeth Line will be open, although the information I have says it is closed. If it is open, you can change to the Central Line at Liverpool Street.

The children are 15 and 11

Sorry i meant slough is outside the travelcard zone....my head is hurting from trying to work it all out!

I'll ask for one of them from the ticket office then

I'm happy with the train into london and tube from there if the elizabeth line isn't operating

Thanks a lot for your help

The off peak day travelcard from Slough will cheaper than the all day one if you are able to travel after 9.30am on weekdays, you can check the times and fares on the http://www.nationalrail.co.uk website.

Checking the times and fares for next Monday the first off peak train is the 09:29 to Paddington, the travelcards will cost £35.40, if you had a Family & Friends Railcard then the price would come down to £28.40.

The travelcards won't be accepted on the train from Slough to Windsor.

BTW, these one day travelcards include one return trip from Slough to London and back.

Ok thanks

The off peak sounds the better option...the show starts at 1 so it won't be before 930 when we travel
