Frequent rail travellers too well know that train times and routes change frequently in the British rail system.
There is a standard summer timetable and then a winter timetable, with trains running at slightly different times, accommodating British Summer Time and Greenwich Mean Time, as well as the different needs of travelers in either winter or summer.
However, every now and then, due to engineering works and unforeseen occurrences, train routes are closed and alternate arrangements are made to cater for such disruptions.
UK Railway timetables are available online for the whole of the UK railway system, thus enabling you to plan journeys and estimate when and how to get to your destination. So if you are traveling by train to York, for a holiday, you can then plan other rail trips which you want to make while based in York. How efficient is that?
A timetable is also useful because you can see when off-peak trains run. These trains will not be as popular, so it may be easier to get a discounted ticket for these services. It's usually easier to get a seat on these, so it is very useful to know when they go.
A train timetable is also useful to have with you. Although you may plan to catch the 5:30 train home, if something goes wrong, it is useful to be able to consult a train timetable and see when the next train is.
There is nothing worse than moving hell and high water to get to the train station 15 minutes after your train has left, only to find out that it is 2 1/2 hours 'til the next one. Had you known, you could have taken your time getting to the train station. For this reason, whenever you are traveling by train, make sure you carry a timetable.
