And maybe it should be added to the acronyms





I looked on real time trains and in addition to WTT▸ (Working Time-Table) and real time, there is a GBTT▸ (Great British Time Table).  I'm sure it used to be something other than GBTT.........I've certainly never noticed it before

So the question is, what was it before and what is it

Is it not just the Great Britain (passenger) Time Table

Quite possibly - but I'm sure it never used to say that!

It used to be something else or I would have wondered it before now!

GBTT▸ (Great British Time Table) = Great Britain Time Table (Customer Displayed arrival/departure time...also for PPM▸ (Parry People Mover, or Pence Per Mile, or Public Performance Measure - depending on context) {public performance measure] stats)

WTT▸ (Working Time-Table) = Working Timetable (Operating timetable for signallers and delay attribution purposes)

Totally off topic, and totally irrelevant.  GBTT▸ (Great British Time Table) was the maritime radio callsign for the Queen Elizabeth 2.  There you are, something you didn't know, or really didn't want to know.
