part of one side was rescued by the Slough and Windsor Railway Society, where it is now on display. The original Royal Saloon No. 9002 is preserved at the Museum of the Great Western Railway.

Windsor Link Railway The Windsor Link Railway was a 2009 proposal for a new railway connecting the Great Western and South West Trains franchise areas and potentially linking both to Heathrow Airport. Windsor & Eton Central and Windsor & Eton Riverside railway stations would have been replaced with one through-route station in the Windsor Goswells. The proposal was rejected by the government in December 2018. In popular culture Being not far from Pinewood Studios, Central station was extensively used in Carry On Loving, one of the Carry On films. The film was released in 1970, at which time much of the original station was still intact. In the opening sequence, the station doubles as 'Much-Snogging-On-The-Green', where Terry Scott's character boards a British Rail DMU. Later in the film, the taxi rank and approaches to the station are used as Sidney Bliss (Sid James) boards a taxi after being followed into the toilets by Charles Hawtrey in disguise. Railway scenes in the Robert Donat film Lease of Life (1954) were filmed at Windsor & Eton Central station. The interior of the station was used for scenes in the 1973 Richard Beckinsale and Paula Wilcox film The Lovers!. Services Windsor & Eton Central station is served by a Great Western Railway operated shuttle service from Slough. The journey takes six minutes each way, and return trips run every 20 minutes. At Slough, there are connections with stopping and semi-fast services to and London Paddington, operated by Great Western Railway and the Elizabeth Line.
