Innovative timetable format
The Zurich S-Bahn has a nice format in its timetables, and one I have not seen before.
The network has 28 separate lines, each with a basic service running between 2 and 4 times an hour and calling at all stations.
The stations are listed in geographical order down the centre of the page, with the standard departure times each hour from each station in the columns on each side. The direction of the trains is indicated by arrows - one way on the left hand side of the page and the other way on the right hand side.
Going out from the centre of the page, the next columns show the first and last trains (with times at key points only).
Finally - the nice point - are columns with exceptions. These show additional peak-hour trains, trains with a different stopping patters, special late-night trains which run off-pattern and the like.
At the end of the timetable booklet are the night services - and to highlight that these ARE night services, the station names are in white on black rather than black on white as elsewhere in the timetable.
It conveys information without too much detail - I liked it!
