London to Henley

[ThomasTank]

Hi all,

I'm thinking of travelling from London to Henley on Thames on a day trip. Firstly, any good splits using Anytime tickets anyone can recommend? Is there a better value Rover available?

Perhaps more crucially, any good stations to visit or nice lines/routes I could travel on in the vicinity?

Valid off-peak (after 9.30, and with certain restrictions in the evening peak) from Paddington to Reading, and on the branches to Henley, Marlow, Windsor & Eton Central and , erm....Greenford.

excellent! Thanks and I'll be sure to check Greenford out! Can this be bought with a priv card?

No idea! Maybe someone who works for FGW may be able to help you...

The only station in London/the country to retain a wooden escalator (see Kings Cross fire, 1987 http://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/King's_Cross_fire).
