We need to show a chunky timetable on a webpage. The page is more popular on mobile than desktop. Does anybody know any better options than to overflow the page and hint that the user can swipe to view more? (... plus offering a pdf download)

Do we even know if a tabular structure is the best option for a timetable? When there are patterns in the data could we use plain english? "Every 12, 28, 47 past the hour from 17:12 to 22:47" ?

You could duplicate the table headings as responsive stacked row headings?

Something like collapse column and collapse row here? css-tricks.com/accessible-s...

There’s something in that yes. I might drop the cells down to inline and use after to stick a comma in. Hide the headings or use colours to show grouping.
