Dynamically rescheduling train services by obtaining travel information 5 from passengers 6 waiting in or near one or more train stations 1 at a given time; employing a train scheduling routine 10, which uses the travel information; and subsequently rescheduling a train service and displaying new travel directions 20 to inform passengers thereof (e.g. by sending it to their electronic devices or a station display board). The travel information may contain passenger numbers or destinations. It may be read wirelessly from an electronic database or electronic devices carried by the passengers when present in a region of the station. If no travel destination can be obtained from an identified passenger, he may be requested to submit it electronically. The travel information may only be obtained, or the train services only rescheduled, if a train service is delayed; the latter only if a minimum number of passengers are delayed. Rescheduling may use a statistical forecast of waiting passenger numbers at a future time and may maximise the number of passengers serviced at a predetermined time or time interval.
