Timetables are essential for both passengers and train operators as they provide information necessary for planning and managing train journeys effectively. Passengers can use timetables to determine the best departure and arrival times, as well as plan connections between different train services. Train operators use timetables to schedule their operations, manage resources, and ensure punctual and efficient train services.
Train timetables may be printed as booklets or posters and displayed at train stations, ticket offices, and on public platforms. In recent years, electronic timetables have also become widespread, with real-time updates available online, through mobile apps, and on electronic displays at stations.
