Which statement best defines a Timetable?

• A. A digital display of train times.
• B. A printed booklet that contains schedules and/or special instructions affecting the movement of trains.
• C. A roster of employees assigned to duties.
• D. A map of the railway network.

Answer: (B)

Timetable is the printed booklet that contains schedules and/or special instructions affecting the movement of trains. It serves as the official authority crews reference to know when trains operate, where they can move, and under what conditions, including speeds, block limits, and any special instructions for a route or territory. While digital displays might show times, they do not constitute the formal, authoritative timetable. A roster lists personnel, not train movements, and a map shows geography, not schedules or movement instructions.
