I asked when the railway time table had been changed.

Explanation:

Here are few rules you follow while changing direct into indirect :

• Usage of reported speech : This speech tells you about what someone said , but doesn't not reports you in the original words of the speaker.

• Removal of quotation : As now you are already reporting it , you need to remove the quotation marks too.

• Changing pronoun : If you not the one to report own speech "I" changes to "he" or "she".

• indirect speech is when you tells about a particular conversation that happened in last , to someone else.

• If something is a universal truth or any fact or a proverb of a quotation , NO changes take place the the form of tenses.

Also following changes take place :

• Now - Then

• Today - That day

• Said - Told

• Will be - Would be
