But you have to be careful with this little gem as it is NOT a timetable, whatever NR call it. It is a list of timed paths. There is a HUGE difference.

In other words, it shows the slot that is available to run a said train should it need to be run. As an example, there is a train shown going into and out of a siding at Eccles, near Manchester. I can assure you that this service has not run for a number of years, as the state of the track attests. But the booked path remains, just in case.

Having said that, in some locations it should be a good indication of when to expect a train that you know does run.
