This skill uses a database that stores your departure and arrival station, this way, you will only need to set up the stations once and just ask alexa when is my next train and it will give you the info you need!
UPDATE: Additional skill: Reverse train schedule, get the train schedule from your arrival station to your departure station.
Enable the skill Reverse Regional Rail and tell Alexa, reverse my train to get the schedule from your arrival station to departure station.
