It is watch day but not for me. I bought a watch for my wife (left) and my daughter (right). No special occasion and they are not super fancy or expensive. I just, you know, buy watches. 🤷

Watch with classic railway style hands and markers. In green with a green strap.
Golden colour watch with lots of small (glass) 'jewels' around the outer edge. The face is dark blue as is the strap.

Railway is technically a PaaS (like Heroku). “serverless” because you don’t have to maintain the operating system. They have evolved buildpacks to Railpacks which will create containers on the fly.
OR you can use it as a Docker host
They are hosting their own bare metal servers. Recommended!

Benders Decomposition for Passenger-Oriented Train Timetabling with Hybrid Periodicity
Zhiyuan Yao, Anita Sch\"obel, Lei Nie, Sven J\"ager
arxiv.org/abs/2511.09892 arxiv.org/pdf/2511.09892 arxiv.org/html/2511.09892
arXiv:2511.09892v1 Announce Type: new
Abstract: Periodic timetables are widely adopted in passenger railway operations due to their regular service patterns and well-coordinated train connections. However, fluctuations in passenger demand require varying train services across different periods, necessitating adjustments to the periodic timetable. This study addresses a hybrid periodic train timetabling problem, which enhances the flexibility and demand responsiveness of a given periodic timetable through schedule adjustments and aperiodic train insertions, taking into account the rolling stock circulation. Since timetable modifications may affect initial passenger routes, passenger routing is incorporated into the problem to guide planning decisions towards a passenger-oriented objective. Using a time-space network representation, the problem is formulated as a dynamic railway service network design model with resource constraints. To handle the complexity of real-world instances, we propose a decomposition-based algorithm integrating Benders decomposition and column generation, enhanced with multiple preprocessing and accelerating techniques. Numerical experiments demonstrate the effectiveness of the algorithm and highlight the advantage of hybrid periodic timetables in reducing passenger travel costs.
