Relatives pronoun
Here is some sentences:
I went to catch the train which departs at five (1)
I went to cath the train departing at five (2)
BUT, I have heard they also use like this:
I went to catch the train (which) departs at five (3)
It means, they omit the relatives pronouns, but may it seems difference from the sentence (2) above?
I went to catch the train which departs at five (1)
I went to cath the train departing at five (2)

No, it cannot be omitted there. The only pronoun that can be omitted is 'that/which' when it is not the subject of the restrictive clause: Where's the hat (that) I bought?
