Hi :D

Does anyone could make a list of what the abbreviations of train's name in Rail Planner App stand for?

For example: TER, NT, RSC and the other ones

Thanks!!

Most of these are just imaginary and only printed-if they still print timetables. They may also vary with the actual routeplanner/country you are in.
MOST common are: IC(E)=Intercity (Express), fast ''deluxe'' train
RE=Regio EXPress: normal train, but not stopping everywhere
R=regio= formerly the ''all stops''
TER is Franch for local trains subsidized or organised by the regions.
Anyone can make apps for everything, but there is also the matter of money and use.
