The tool used to regulate and define the services is the timetable.

Graphical timetable is the representation of a train on a space(time) diagram.

Space

Time

Station B

Station A

9:00 10:00

The line is a train, departing at 9 and covering the space between A and B in 1h.

Graphical Timetable: Basic

German speaking people put Time on Y Axis and Space on X.

The capacity of a line depends (also) on the way the timetable is built.

Slow trains onlyFast trains only

Fast and slow trains together

The capacity of a line could be increased if timetable is homogeneous (all trains have the same speed).

But in real life it is necessary to find a compromise between faster and slower services!

“Focused” timetable

“Charter strategy”

Train circulates only if (considered) profitable.

The train is located in the timetable in order to maximise the highest potential demand.

The train is dimensioned according to the foreseen demand.

Minor or secondary traffic flows are left unserved or served by other transport means.

Regular interval timetable

Global approach to mobility (including other modes)

Timetable built to grant the constant availability of service:

Departures at regular intervals Constant pattern of appointments

at specific nodal pointsThe financial sustainability must look at the whole network and not to single trains (that can be losing).The benefit for the user of having “always” a train is greater than the cost of having some trains more empty!

Why is regular timetabling important, especially in local transport services?

Allows the creation of a hierarchic network (train – bus – urban)

Introduces mono- and multi-modal transport nodes

Allows the passenger to arrive at any time to the initial stop, avoiding the use of timetables also when using more lines.

Increases the quality of the trip

Reduces the perceived cost

Increases number of users on the network

Influences the housing choices in peripheral areas

Regular Interval Timetable: Why?

The symmetry is, jointly with regularity, one of the main properties of “modern” rail timetables

The use of regular timetables implies the definition of symmetry axes

The symmetry axis identifies the basic grid on which the whole timetable is built

The symmetry axis is chosen according to commercial evaluations

The preferred axis is 00 – 30: if the train leaves at minute x, the corresponding one arrives at the same station at minute 60 – x

The customer can easily memorise the timetable in one direction and calculate it for the other one.

00

30

Station A

If the train from A to B leaves at minute 10, the corresponding train from B to A arrives at minute 50 (symmetry around minutes 00 – 30)

With a 00 – 30 symmetry and 1h headway, trains always make a crossing at minutes 00 and 30

Symmetry Axis

Page 12: 1 Organisation of Rail Transport: A Case Study in Lombardy Workshop: Infrastructure Planning and Design (Urbanistica - Politecnico di Milano) Milano, 24.11.2011.

Symmetrical Timetable and Nodes

With a 30’ headway two other stations become nodes, in this case at minutes 15 – 45 (because there is a crossing every 15 minutes)

Timetable planning should put nodes where it is possible to make connections: main stations, branch stations, stations with bus terminus and so on.

It is important that all the services are based on the same symmetry axis. Otherwise only mono-directional appointments are possible.

Example (same symmetry):

Line B – D: Intercity train

Line C – E: regional train

We can go from B to E and from E to B

We can go from B to E

We CAN’T go from E to B

(the Regional trains arrives “too late”)

If, for example, the Regional service is designed with another symmetry axis, connection works only in one direction.

Regular timetabling together with symmetry allows the creation of network systems at a regional scale (or even national)

Application of the hub&spoke model also to railways

Line Foggia-Manfredonia• A single train is going to and from

Manfredonia, with a stop of few minutes in each terminus

• Highest efficiency in using rolling stock• Worst case for users: cannot guarantee a

standard frequency, except lucky case in which travelling time is just a bit lower than 30 (or 60) minutes (this is not the case!)

Departure time “looses” about 10 minutes per trip

The Best Way (in Our Opinion)

Line S9 Milano S.Cristoforo-Seregno• Constant frequency of 30’ for the whole day• Good efficiency in using rolling stock• Best case for users. • Peak hours can be managed using double

compositions (easy with EMUs, more complex with Loco+Coaches)

A Complex World (Main Line)

Line Milan-Verona• Eurostarcity Milan-Venice, Interregio Milan-Verona,

local traffic Brescia-Rovato (to Bergamo) and Brescia-Milano must share the same tracks

• Although “out of structure” trains still exist, a good structure is important to standardise traffic (useful for both users and operators!)

• In suburban area (Treviglio-Milan) 4 tracks are required to have also S Lines (S5-S6)

People on Trains: Some Examples

Page 21: 1 Organisation of Rail Transport: A Case Study in Lombardy Workshop: Infrastructure Planning and Design (Urbanistica - Politecnico di Milano) Milano, 24.11.2011.

1981: “Prehistoric” Timetables even on Main Lines

Milan-Rome:• Three Trans Europ Express (around 6h),

each one with its own name:– “Settebello” (ETR.300)– “Vesuvio” (to Naples)– “Ambrosiano”

• One Rapido to Naples• Two Rapido on partial route

Bologna/Florence-RomeThats all!

Increasing the number of trains per day (and thus the number of seats) is a good measure of "progress" in railway, even more than increasing speed and performances.

Page 22: 1 Organisation of Rail Transport: A Case Study in Lombardy Workshop: Infrastructure Planning and Design (Urbanistica - Politecnico di Milano) Milano, 24.11.2011.

1985: a New Era in Italian Timetables

The first “really new” timetable in FS history: a structured service in North-West Italy.

Every 2 hours:• Intercity Turin-Milan (1h35)• Direct train Turin-Milan (1h47)• Intercity Milan-Venice (2h45)• Direct train Milan-Venice (3h)• Intercity Milan-Genoa• Express train Milan-Ventimiglia• Direct train Genoa-Ventimiglia

Train journey is related with number of stops

In 1987-2005, Direct trains connected Milan with Bologna, and had exceptionally good performance (number of passengers)In 2005, trains were limited to Milan-Parma journey. The number of passengers decreased dramatically.

• The more a train is direct (fewer stops), the more it requires a “minimum journey” to capture enough people
