Public transport timetable
A public transport timetable (also timetable and North American English schedule) is a document setting out information on service times, to assist passengers with planning a trip. Typically, the timetable will list the times when a service is scheduled to arrive at and depart from specified locations. It may show all movements at a particular location or all movements on a particular route or for a particular stop. Traditionally this information was provided in printed form, for example as a leaflet or poster. It is now also often available in a variety of electronic formats. Journey planners have to some extent replaced traditional timetable books in many places.
A "timetable" may also refer to the same information in abstract form, not specifically published, e.g. "A new timetable has been introduced".
==History==
The first compilation of railway timetables in the United Kingdom was produced in 1839 by George Bradshaw. Greater speeds and the need for more accurate timings led to the introduction of standard railway time in Great Western Railway timetables in 1840, when all their trains were scheduled to "London time", i.e. Greenwich Mean Time (GMT), which replaced solar time. Until railway time was introduced, local times for London, Birmingham, Bristol and Manchester could differ by as much as 16 to 20 minutes; in India and North America these differences could be 60 minutes or more.
Thomas Cook Publishing has published the ''Thomas Cook European Timetable'', a compendium of the schedules of major European railway services, since 1873〔(【引用サイトリンク】 publisher=The Man in Seat Sixty-One (travel website) )〕 (appearing monthly since 1883). From 1981 to 2010 it also produced a similar bi-monthly Overseas volume covering the rest of the world, and some of that content has been moved into the ''European Timetable''.
