|    Should train schedules have bold face ty    |

      I was looking at a timetable and couldn't tell if the 1 o'clock departure was       afternoon or late at night. Finally, off to the side, I found a notation that       it was afternoon and evening service, so it was a 1 am departure.              In the old days, a standard convention in timetables was that a.m. times were       in light face, while p.m. train times were in bold face.              Metra still does this, but other carriers don't.       http://metrarail.com/content/metra/en/home/maps_schedules/metra_       ystem_map/up-nw/map/_jcr_content/download/file.res/UPNW_Timetable04282014.pdf              --- SoupGate/W32 v1.03        * Origin: LiveWire BBS -=*=- UseNet FTN Gateway (1:2320/1)    |
