Train timetables are complex. When designing a timetable for railways you have to think about the physical capabilities of the actual train, what stops it needs to make, whether it is carrying passengers or freight, the number of platforms at a station, the gradient of the track, and the placement of passing loops on single-track sections, amongst many other things. Data visualisation can help with timetabling and make sure our railways continue to run on track!
