through train
No transfers needed
A through train travels from its origin to its destination without requiring passengers to change to another train, even if the route passes through intermediate stations or crosses different rail networks.
The term emphasizes continuity of service: you board once and stay aboard until you reach your stop.
We took the through train from London to Edinburgh rather than changing at York.
