A model of timetable coordination of first trains in urban railway networks, based on the importance of lines and transfer stations, is proposed in this paper. A sub-network connection method is developed, and a mathematical programming solver is utilized to solve the suggested model. A simple test network and a real network of Beijing urban railway network are modeled to verify the effectiveness of our suggested model. Results demonstrate that the proposed model is effective in improving the transfer performance in that they reduce the connection time significantly.
