Train Schedule Guides
Train Schedule FAQ
Train schedule pages are for planned timetable information. These answers clarify the fields passengers see most often.
Schedule basics
A train schedule shows the official plan for a train: route, stations, arrivals, departures, halts, distance and running days.
It is not the same as live status. Schedule tells you what is planned; live status tells you what is happening on a specific journey date.
Reading timing fields
Scheduled arrival and departure are timetable times. Expected arrival and actual arrival are journey-day running details.
When planning before travel, start with schedule. When going to the station today, also check live status.
