Book timetable
A book timetable is a form of timetable used by train drivers in Germany and Austria . It contains information and instructions that must be observed and followed for each section of the route when traveling on a railway line . It is neither to be confused with the course book nor with the route book .
Book timetable
The book timetable is published in book form, hence the name book timetable . It consists of two booklets, the speed booklet with the route-related information in the order of the route and the travel times booklet with the times of the trains at the individual operating points . There is a detailed substitute timetable for individual routes or route sections in which all signals are listed. The individual book timetable is intended for a specific rail route and designed for its individual course.
Similarly, there were also book timetables for the DB buses for each rail bus route. These were structured in a similar way to the book timetables for the trains, but not with spiral stitching. They included all the stops and sometimes the arrival times, but always the departure times of each journey and any deviations.
Alternatively, the information in the book timetable can be displayed in electronic form using the EBuLa system on a display device in the driver's cab of the locomotives.
