Is there any reason why Day Passes in the UK are not valid for 24 hours from first issue/validation as is the case on the continent?
Well most UK bus company passes are valid until midnight.
In the continental cities I've visited a day pass lasts for 24 hours, for example in Lille I bought a 5 Metro pass at 14:40 on Saturday, it was vaild until 14:40 the following day! In Amsterdam a 7.50 GVB pass was also valid for 24 hours from first use.
Buying a Stagecoach Dayrider/FirstDay/LocalEquivalent in the evening isn't really good value when it expires at midnight
