Due to heavy snow and ice, both infrastructure and rolling stock broke down or malfunctioned, which made the network run out-of-control. Today, a special reduced timetable is being deployed to provide for more robustness and consequently limit the impact of winter weather on the rail operations. This timetable is, however, structurally unable to transport all passengers to their destination. This thesis explores alternative line systems for a winter timetable, aiming to increase the transport capacity while maintaining robustness.
