Andrew, depending on how big your schedule is yes a table within a list
probably would get too confusing (if your table is small and the list
small). However, if you're doing a single page with lots of different
trains you might want to consider doing something like using a heading
(like an H2) for each train and then a table for the schedule for that
train. I've found that individuals who use screen readers tend to like to
go through the headings to find areas on a page to review then a table
within each heading makes it easy to browse.

Mike (Moore) also has a good point, you might want to try and reach out to
any individuals you know (or you could try contacting your local Easter
Seals office who often help out in situations like this) and run some
examples past them.
