Yes, as long as you print your own based on the individual route pdf
downloaded just before your journey, you'll be better off. Even those
are not updated as often as they should be, but at least it is more
often than the timetable book.

The most upto date info will be in your itinerary at the website, which
you may have access to depending on how it was booked. Otherwise call to
make sure what the actual times will be for your journey.
