To determine the missing times in the timetable, we need to identify the time intervals between each town. Using the provided times, we can calculate the intervals and then fill in the missing times accordingly.

Step 1: Calculate the intervals between the stations.
- Hudderslet to Kinroston: 9:36 - 9:32 = 4 minutes
- Kinroston to Sulverton: 9:56 - 9:36 = 20 minutes
- Sulverton to Brussea: Missing
- Brussea to Singamont: 11:13 - ___

Step 2: Using the intervals, find the time for the second train.
- Hudderslet to Kinroston:
Hudderslet (10:07) + 4 minutes = 10:11
- Kinroston to Sulverton (from previous step): 10:31 - 10:11 = 20 minutes.

Since the intervals are consistent, the travel time from Brussea to Singamont for the third train will also match the given intervals for other trains.

Step 3: Calculate the missing times.
- Sulverton to Brussea: 11:33 - 10:31 equals 1 hour and 2 minutes.
- Brussea to Singamont: 11:48 - 11:33 equals 15 minutes.

Thus, the complete timetable with the missing times filled is:

| Station | 1st Train | 2nd Train | 3rd Train |
|-------------|-----------|-----------|-----------|
| Hudderslet | 9:32 | 10:07 | 10:34 |
| Kinroston | 9:36 | 10:11 | 10:38 |
| Sulverton | 9:56 | 10:31 | 10:58 |
| Brussea | 10:58 | 11:33 | 12:00 |
| Singamont | 11:13 | 11:48 | 12:15 |

This ensures each train maintains the same travel intervals between each town.
