Define non-revenue service.

Define non-revenue service.

• A. Movements not carrying fare-paying passengers; includes training, testing, repositioning.
• B. Movements carrying fare-paying passengers.
• C. A maintenance procedure for rails.
• D. A schedule for peak-hour services.

Answer: (A)

Non-revenue service refers to train movements that do not carry fare-paying passengers. It includes activities like training crews, testing systems or routes, and repositioning trains between yards or depots. This is different from revenue service, where trains operate with paying passengers. The other options describe movements with passengers or unrelated procedures, so they don’t fit the definition of non-revenue service.
