TIMETABLES

The following timetables cover the full working life of the line. Both passenger and working timetables are included, with more dates to be added as information is acquired. Despite not being in general railway use until after the line closed, the 24 hour clock is used throughout for simplicity. Sunday trains are shown in italics on the right of the tables. The passenger times are departure times, except obviously at the destination, whereas the freight times include the sometimes lengthy station stops.
