Abstract
In Dutch railway operations, most of the rescheduling decisions in the operational phase, following some disturbance, involve the resequencing of trains. These decisions are being taken using only approximate train information and operational rules. Improvements have been formulated but, since no insight in the potential gain in punctuality exists, lack a convincing business case. In this paper, using only elementary methods, we derive an estimate for this punctuality gain.
