  1. I’m vaguely looking at putting some #railway #timetables onto paper to have a backup during a trip I’m planning this summer, where I expect both power and coverage to be sparse.

    I’m guessing that Fedi is the right place to ask this: Is there a guide to timetable layout best practices out there? Preferably in English? Or some sort of standard?

    Most of my online searching seems to bring up information on how to schedule #trains, rather than how to present the schedule to users.

  2. Oh, summer #train #timetables start today, not that any GB service operators are going to tell you here (or even on Bluesky)…

    Bizarrely worded #NetworkRail article: “[changes] apply to the 8 train operators in public ownership”, but #ScotRail and #TfWRail are omitted from the list, and even that it is a standardised date when •all• timetables change.

    #GBRail, integrated much? 🤷‍♂️🙃

  3. With the demise of Spirit Airlines, I took the opportunity to add some of their Timetables to the Digital Transportation Archive.

  8. Another nice one, this is a larger timetable book in Finnish and Swedish from 1934, published by the Finnish Tourist Association. Apparently these were published up until the early 2000s. There are explanatory notes on page 4 in English, French and Esperanto(!).
    One detail: the train Jyväskylä–Suolahti (which no longer runs) took 1 hour 20 minutes, only a few minutes slower than the bus that serves the route now. #history #timetables #landBasedTravel

  9. #Travelling by #train in #Europe can be a nightmare. On this year's holidays we wanted to reduce our #CarbonFootprint by travelling by train (instead of travelling by other more polluting means of #transport). The idea was to use night trains and #Interrail to travel. But from Galicia I would have to travel hundreds of kilometres on an inefficient train, and France does not have many night trains. And buying #tickets and checking #timetables was a nightmare. So this time we decided to travel by car and not too far.
    Here an article about this problem and the The #EU #MultimodalDigitalMobilityServicesRegulation #MDMS

  10. CW: Amtrak

    On a topic different from what I usually post about, I am a #PassengerRail advocate.

    In the US.

    Where #Amtrak stopped publishing printed #timetables, making it hard for people to plan trips.

    So in 2022, I wrote a program to generate printable timetables from the same #GTFS data that they send to places like Google maps.

    Results are at railpassengers.org/timetables

    Sadly, I can't take the train right now due to lack of #Covid safety.

    Just thought some people might be interested. @chas
