Swedish term

Omloppsplan

Swedish to English Other Transport / Transportation / Shipping
I'm translating a document about a train operator's processes, and the section in question is about train maintenance. There is a list of reasons why their service provision is upheld while they carry out maintenance, and one of the reasons is the 'Produktion av omloppsplan' - is an omloppsplan this the same as a time table here?

Thanks to anyone who can help me out with this!

Rolling stock roster/rostering/roster planning

The short answer here, I believe, it no. But this suggestion really requires more context to answer for sure. The Swe KTH reference below describes your term, but uses a three word definition, and not my suggestion. The other references describe basically the same process and use this term. Your context should help you decide...

There you go, the short answer is..., indeed, no!

agree Charlesp : I like the rooster element; sounds like the trains are moving early in the morning!

disagree Sven Petersson : The Swedish word "plan" may not be translated to "planning"; "planning" is "planering".

No, it's not the same as a time table!
