Prototypical timetables.

Post by ThatYorkshireman »

Hey everyone, I'm looking for a good source of timetables for the SWML and PDL as I'm creating scenarios that are as close to the real timetables as possible.

Thanks.

What time period?

If current day then the south west trains website is a good place to start being the main operator along the routes.

A quick google reveals that the National Rail website is also useful. You can download a schematic map and a single 50 megabyte PDF file to cover the whole of Britain's passenger services, broken down by route number. Unfortunately you'll need to look further for information about freight trains and non-revenue movements of passenger trains, assuming that there actually is freight on the PDL these days.

Freightmaster may come in handy for freight timings. It isn't free though, so is up to you whether the cost is worth it for your purpose.
