Question

When do the UK winter rail timetables end and summer ones start?

Answer 1

The current one commenced 10th December 2006 and is valid until the 19th May 2007.  The new timetable book usually comes about a couple of weeks prior to the new start date.

Answer 2

Normaly the first bank holiday weekend in May

Answer 3

The concept of 'winter' and 'summer' timetables has been abolished. There is now one annual timetable which will show seasonal services - e.g. 'this train runs from 15 July to 15 September'. And further more, no National Timetable is going to be printed from now on. It will only be available as a .pdf file on line.

Answer 4

in july...

Answer 5

The changeover date from 'winter' to 'summer' this year is 19th May.

Answer 6

It's usually during May

Answer 7

my answer... its foolish. but it could be at the start of BST (British Summer Time) ??

when the clocks go back... that is the change?

Answer 8

The new timetable is a big one this year. Up to now all timetables where reproduced in book form. As from the next change in May, the timetables will NO longer be availiable for purchase in book form. All timetables, except local line tables, will be in electronic form.  The fares manuals will also be produced only in electronic form as well.

So customers will now not be able to check distance trains, changes or fares, unless they go to a manned station with a tribute or RJIS system or rely on the National Rail Service website and telephone, which is CONSTANTLY wrong!

Answer 9

When the trees are green.Then train times change to being less

late.

Answer 10

They have timetables ?????

Answer 11

This year I do believe it's the 19th May - but it could be put back when they discover all the usual misprints in the timetables!

Answer 12

winter to summer in may summer to winter in December

Answer 13

The "summer" timetable starts in May/June and the "winter" timetable starts in December. It used to be different, but the UK has succombed to the European system, so all European rail timetables change at the same time.
