: Yes, if a train serves a certain location it means it reaches that location. So if you live, there you can take a train to/from other places.

Rail rout has quite assisted both Alpine pass and the lake

Tony M
: Although this might be incidentally true, that's really not what the S/T as asked is saying; and note that 'quite assisted' is potentially ambiguous in EN, and so best avoided! Several errors, and as Daryo says "assist" not right verb here, unlike 'serve'

Daryo
: how do you "assist" lakes and mountain passes ??? I was until now under the impression you can "assist" only people? You can't invent your own version of English and expect others to just accept it. Languages don't work that way.
