•We propose a multi-objective periodic timetable optimization problem.•Multiple overtakings are allowed to improve infrastructure occupation and robustness.•The model optimizes a trade-off between journey times, regularity, vulnerability, and the number of overtakings.•We apply the epsilon-constrain...
