Timetabled

Timetabled is an adjective meaning arranged or scheduled according to a published timetable. It is used in contexts where the timing of events is fixed and publicly documented, such as transportation services, school schedules, and broadcast programming. The term derives from timetable, the published record of planned times for arrivals, departures, classes, or broadcasts, with the suffix -ed indicating a state of having been placed on the timetable or scheduled.

In transportation, timetabled services have defined departure and arrival times. Operators publish timetables and use them as the official reference for planning and passenger information. A train or bus is described as timetabled to depart at a certain time; actual times can vary due to delays, but the timetabled times remain the standard for scheduling and coordination.

In education and events, timetabled sessions are those assigned to specific times within a day or week, such as timetabled lectures, exams, or concert slots. This usage emphasizes predictability and structure in the arrangement of activities.

Linguistic notes: Timetabled is more common in British English. In American English, the equivalent adjective is typically scheduled. The related noun timetable refers to the published schedule itself, while timetabling describes the process of creating or adjusting such schedules.
