Basil Jet remarked:

National Rail are much more obliging - paper copies of the
timetables for specific lines are available at stations, often in
"help yourself" racks.

They are only available for some routes. Far too often all they
produce are summaries, and having divided the route up between
concepts such as "inner/outer suburban".


Which NR route has no paper timetable, apart from the London Overground
& TfL Rail?


I've never seen a proper paper timetable for Great Northern. All there
is at the station are credit-card sized pocket guides with highly
selected services. There's eight different subsets (only some of which
are available at any one station):

Note for example how A7 shows services from Cambridge North to Cambridge
and Kings Cross, but omits showing all the intermediate stops south of
Cambridge.

And there's no clue [apart from the journey time] the 1906[1] from Ely
to Kings Cross is all-shacks, rather than fast from Cambridge which is
the case during the day.

[1] RTT says it's 1908, but what's 2 minutes between friends.

They used to do a GN booklet


FCC, shirley?


Then it was, wasn't it?

which then became a downloadable PDF only but even that stopped after
Summer 2014.


That'll be an "improvement" when GTR took over the route


One of a number on the information front.
