We operate three different timetables throughout the year. In the calendars below, the colour of the background indicates which timetable applies on any particular day. If a day has a white background, we are not running public trains on that day.

To see the timetables, either click on the links below, or click on the number of the day you are interested in. Special events may operate on certain weekends, with special enhanced timetables, details of which are listed to the right.
