train paths
Explanation:
David is going to hate me but these days the "way" has disappeared and the jargon has become "train paths". It is Eurospeak but everybody uses it. David must have known people like Jim Evans, who until recently was at EIM in Brussels. IM = infrastructure managers, (E = European) and this is how they talk!

agree  xxxtnkw: This is the term most commonly used, as CMJ says. 'Pathway' is not a railway train planning term in the UK. It is essential to remember that the plural needs to be used here, as the writer is speaking of a gap in the timetable, not of a single path.
