Unfortunately with SG Rail Access now being largely run by Govt owned 
Corporations such info as train timetables is commercial in confidence.
Im also not sure that there would be such a thing as a master train plan 
for the SG Network whilst multiple organizations run the various bits of it.
No doubt Westrail,ARTC and RAC would all have their own timetables which being
commercial in confidence would ensure that the other two organizations wouldnt 
have access to them.
Getting crazier all the time.
