Time zones and the date line, sentence 2

Trains changed that: a timetable needs one clock, so British railways took London time in the 1840s, and the world later split into time zones counted from UTC.

Who acts: Trains, timetable, British railways, world · What happens: change, need, take, split, count · To what, where: that, one clock, 1840s, time zones, UTC

This is a sentence of the lesson «Time zones and the date line» of the geography course of Mova's primary school. The page gives its syntax tree — a dependency tree in the style of Universal Dependencies — and its pragmatics clause by clause: who acts (Trains, timetable, British railways, world), what happens, when and where, as Mova's frames read it from the tree.
