Abstract
This paper is motivated by the increased usage of the United Kingdom (UK) railway, and the need for innovative solutions to meet this demand. The aim of this paper is to investigate the closer running of trains, with the focus being on the key performance indicators (KPIs) of increased route utilisation and avoiding collisions. To investigate the closer running of trains, a baseline mathematical model of an existing railway network has been developed. The baseline mathematical model is then used to investigate the operation of running trains closer together. Based on the above aim, the following research question is posed: can the operation of the railway network be improved by running trains closer together, whilst maintaining a high level of safety?
