One of the criteria to judge a timetable is what passengers think of it, and an operator has to take this into account when designing a timetable. We study this problem in a case study from the Netherlands, where on part of the network the frequency of trains has increased recently. We formulate a model that integrates passenger routing and timetabling in order to find timetables that are good for passengers. This can be used for studies by railway operators, and by infrastructure managers to decide where to invest in new infrastructure.
