These are the actual timetables that the railway works to, as distinct from what it shows to the public. There are dozens of pdfs at http://www.networkrail.co.uk/browseDirectory.aspx?root=&dir=%5cTimetables%5cWorking%20timetable%20(WTT). I was a bit surprised to find, on a schematic map, "Gospal Oak" for Gospel Oak and "Leyton Road East" for Leyton Midland Road.
This information is presented in a more user-friendly way at:
www.brtimes.com
www.opentraintimes.com
www.realtimetrains.co.uk and
www.trains.im
I'm in the habit now when catching a train from a large or unfamiliar station, of noting which platform the train is booked to use. The train doesn't always use the booked platform, but this information is likely to be useable in the majority of occasions when they do.
You can get an incredible amount of detail - including about non-passenger trains - from this information.
