train service

Scheduled locomotive transportation

Train service refers to the operation of passenger or freight trains along a route, or the overall system providing such transportation.

It can mean a particular line or schedule: The train service to Edinburgh runs hourly.

Service interruptions affect commuters: Train service was suspended due to flooding.

The term also evaluates quality: Train service in Japan is famously punctual.
