The Timetable tab answers questions about one route on one date. Does it run today. When is the 17:33. How far apart are the buses at 08:15. Where does the timetable put its running time, and where does the route lose it.
Three pages, and the first is the one to read before the other two.
The pages here
| Page | What it answers |
|---|---|
| Reading a timetable | Picking a route, the ● Live and Schedule modes, the six views, and the time slider that scopes all of them |
| The +1 clock, and why a bus departs at 25:10 | Times after midnight, the service day, and which day's service you are reading at two in the morning |
| The Allocation view | Where a route's running time goes, hop by hop — and the tolerance that decides how its runs are grouped |
Three things worth knowing first
None of this is behind the sign-in. The published timetable is public information, so the whole tab works signed out, and on a copy of the app that has no accounts at all.
It is one route and one date at a time. Every view describes a single route on a single service date. Comparing two dates means two browser tabs.
The tab is read-only. Nothing here changes a schedule. What it shows is the timetable that was loaded, and if that is wrong it is wrong before it reaches the app.
Punctuality is written up elsewhere
The tab has a sixth view, Punctuality, which appears only on a deployment where observed running times have been loaded. Its button sits in this tab beside Headway, but it is described with the rest of the performance analysis, at Punctuality, and what it does not prove.
