Stopping train
01
a train that stops at all or most of the stations along its route
What is a "stopping train"?
A stopping train is a type of train that makes regular stops at every station along its route. Unlike express trains, which may skip some stations, a stopping train is scheduled to halt at all the stations it passes, allowing passengers to get on and off at any of the stops. These trains are typically slower because they stop more often, making them ideal for shorter trips or travel within a specific area. Stopping trains are commonly used in urban or suburban areas where people need frequent access to various stations.
Examples
The stopping train took longer to reach the city because it halted at every small town.
