train schedules

Rail arrival times

Train schedules are timetables showing when trains depart and arrive at stations along a route.

They list times, destinations, and often platform numbers or track assignments.

Historically published as printed booklets, they now appear primarily online or in apps: I checked the train schedule to see when the next one leaves for Boston.
