“A glance says more than a thousand tables”: A graphical timetable shows the entire course of a day on a railway line – something no printed timetable can achieve.
A graphical timetable (also called a time-distance diagram) is a visual representation of train operations on a route. The distance traveled is plotted on the vertical (or horizontal) axis, and the time traveled is plotted on the opposite axis. Each train is represented by a line, the gradient of which indicates its speed.
