Departing from and arriving at Slough
Before departing from Slough
Use Slough (SLO) in the departure field and check the platform for your booked direction. Keep all tickets available for inspection, including every part of a split-ticket journey.
The station record lists access from Brunel Way, Railway Terrace. Match the entrance to your departure platform before setting out; the nearest entrance is not necessarily the most accessible one.
If your booking offers ticket collection at Slough, the recorded machine location is southeast entrance; north entrance. Check the collection instructions and allow time before your train; a listed machine is not confirmation that every ticket can be collected there.
When arriving at Slough
Select Slough (SLO) as the arrival station and plan the onward journey from that station, rather than from the centre of the wider area. Check your return departure separately, particularly when the return train uses a different platform.
The recorded Category A access at Slough means step-free routes to all platforms. Train boarding can still require a ramp or assistance; check lift availability and the route to the exit for your arrival.

What should I check when splitting this journey?
The train normally needs to call where one ticket ends and the next starts, even if you stay aboard. Check every ticket’s permitted trains, Railcard conditions and reservations. Some season and area tickets have specific exceptions.
