• We study the edge set VRP with time windows and introduce a new variant. • We present an improved formulation, preprocessing techniques, and valid inequalities. • We develop an effective metaheuristic with an additional diversification strategy. • Our metaheuristic achieves high-quality solutions for both problem variants. • We analyze the effects of allowing waiting and of the infrastructure distribution.
