Train timetables
Temporary Timetable
From Saturday 10 August, we will be introducing some temporary changes to our timetable. Some services will be removed or changed to reduce on-the-day cancellations that we know are having a big impact on customers at the moment. You can check here for further information on these changes.
Train timetable
Our network stretches from Scotland to Cornwall, so you’re bound to find somewhere you’d like to visit. Timetables are correct at the time of production and are usually planned 6 months in advance.
