Railway timetables take a great deal of ingenuity to interpret them. In theory they are the published times of trains that run for public use (the railway staff use a Working Timetable which shows all trains, e.g. goods, maintenance, not just the passenger ones, but we're not discussing that here).

In theory the trains run to time. However, matching theory to practice requires skill and dedication. Which platform is your train departing from? Will it change at the last minute? Is your train running late, and if so, how does that affect any connection you may wish to make?

If you are taking the train over a complicated route, e.g. changing at a station where the train has to reverse, have you enough information from the platform indicator to tell you where to alight? ...and where to board?

Your train is cancelled at the last minute. Can you claim compensation for time lost?

You need a season ticket to commute to work and the bank has just refused you a second mortgage. What do you do?
