rail connections
Where trains transfer
Rail connections are the links between different train services, stations, or rail networks that allow passengers or freight to transfer from one line to another.
The term covers both the physical infrastructure joining rail systems and the scheduled opportunities to change trains: The city has excellent rail connections to the capital.
Good rail connections reduce travel time; poor ones leave you stranded on platforms.
