Jenny Scott Mar 28, 2017:
Still think that it could be 'block' I agree that 'circuit' sounds very feasible, and also sounds better to our ears.

However, from Wikipedia:

Vehicle scheduling, also called “blocking”, involves assigning vehicles to cover the trips associated with the timetable. A vehicle “block” is the schedule of travel of a vehicle for a given day, including: (1) a pull-out from the depot, (2) a sequence of trips from the timetable, (3) any dead-head trips, and (4) a pull-in back to the depot (recall the vehicle cycle from the unit on vehicle operations).

More context text Hi there. This relates to a bus system:

Et vognløp består av en rekke turer som trafikkerer en eller flere linjer.

A "circuit" consists of a number of "trips/vectors?" that service one or more lines?

I have come across this before as 'block', and the reference seems to back this up.
