Posted November 15, 200915 yr comment_76648 Hi everyone!I'm taking part in Work Experience the coming July at Legoland Windsor, and need to know how to get there by train from London Waterloo.Can anyone help me?Thankss.
November 15, 200915 yr comment_76652 Go on South West Trains for full details. As far as I know, you can take the train from Waterloo - Windsor and then get the bus to Legoland which, like the Thorpe shuttle bus, costs money.
November 15, 200915 yr Author comment_76653 Thank you.As far as I'm aware, the shuttle bus doesn't operate until about 10:00amI start at 9:00am, is there any other bus or form of transport to get me from the train station to the park?
November 15, 200915 yr comment_76661 That I'm not know about, only thing I can suggest is a taxi or if there are other buses?
November 16, 200915 yr comment_76690 Well Done, I'm very jealous ;)But surely you should have thought of transport first ?Edit: What are you doing at Legoland ?
November 16, 200915 yr comment_76696 Yes, there are public bus services that stop at the park, direct from windsor high street.
November 16, 200915 yr Author comment_76700 Edit: What are you doing at Legoland ?Well I'm in the attractions department, what that ivolves I don't know.And thanks for all the advice on getting there.
November 16, 200915 yr comment_76701 Oh, I expect that would be awesome. Probably similar to the Run Chessington thing I did, but for a whole week/ 2 weeks.I'm on my Work Experience at the moment, at the MK Dons Football Club.The office work is diabolical and I just do the jobs no-one else will do, but the coaching part of it is great <_<Really wish I could have done it at Chessington/ Legoland though.Make sure you let us know how you get on

November 16, 200915 yr comment_76724 KaneCurse as a fellow Ex-Legoland Employee (because its now closed) allow me to answer your question.Your shifts start at 9:00am, therefore this rules out the very unreliable and expensive shuttle bus. This leaves you with 2 options.1) Call a taxi company (Windsor Radio Cars are the best and cheapest)2) Walk from the station to Legoland Windsor (from Windsor & Eton Central) preferably.I have never personally needed to take Option 2, as I have had transportation ready. But I hear its an easy route, and is mostly a straight road.Hope this helps, give us a shout if you need any more help!
December 1, 200915 yr comment_77492 Or once again, talk to someone who knows what they are talking about.The local buses do fine, its way cheaper than a taxi, some are even coaches going from theatre street (basically down the road from riverside, and just ouside central station). Plus it gives you more options on the way home. Considering I used the buses fulltime for most of the year, I have to say they're not unreliable.Walking could be done and takes 30mins, but you really need to know where you're going. And it makes no difference which station considering you can walk between them both within 3mins.
May 7, 201114 yr comment_115092 Hi all,Don't know if this is the correct place to post this but I just a quick question, I have a job interview at Legoland Windsor in a couple of weeks and if I get it, I want to make sure I can get there easily as I do not always have access to a car. I know I'd get the train to Windsor from London Waterloo, but the shuttle bus is at 10am and work would start at least an hour earlier than this. So my question is, are there local buses I can take from the station to the park? and/or is it possible to walk to the park from the station, and if so how long would it take?I appreciate everyones help on this matter

Buses in Windsor are extremely unreliable and can be up to 25 minutes in late. Walking from Lego to the station shouldn't take you any longer than 40 - 45 minutes, depending on how fast you can consistently walk for. I used to do it all the time. As long as I had my iPod plugged in I was fine.
May 7, 201114 yr comment_115099 Yeah buses are always late - but they're frequentish. 191, 702 and 703 go to lego staff entrance. Up to 5 an hour sometimes (including lego shuttle). Just as long as you get the 805 or so (depending on your start time) you should be fine.But walking is incredibly cheap and reliable though, did this a few times.
May 17, 201114 yr comment_115877 cheers guys.Which station in Windsor is closer to be able to walk to the park?
May 17, 201114 yr comment_115893 Riverside is slightly closer, but they're within a 5 minute walk from eachother so it's kind of negligable! Central is nearer to the bus stop.
May 17, 201114 yr comment_115894 Riverside is slightly closer, but they're within a 5 minute walk from eachother so it's kind of negligable! Central is nearer to the bus stop.Thanks very much. Appreciate it!
May 17, 201114 yr comment_115900 Centrals closer to lego to walk! You basically have to walk past/around central station to get to riverside! :blush:But yeah, literally takes 2-3mins to get between them.
