railway timetables
Departure and arrival lists
Railway timetables are schedules showing train departure and arrival times at various stations.
Before smartphones, printed timetables were essential for planning journeys—dense grids of times and station names that rewarded careful reading.
The term now covers both physical booklets and digital schedules: I checked the railway timetables to find the next train to Edinburgh.
