About the original

Scheduling links, train times and invitation details in the original are historical and not current plans.

01

More than a timetable

Each section included its purpose, what to do during the stop and what could be dropped after a delay.

02

See dependencies

Connections that could disrupt the entire day were separated from sections where another train could recover the schedule.

03

Keep plan and result separate

The original plan was not overwritten. Actual actions were recorded separately so differences could inform the next journey.
