Do trains have a timetabled departure of 00:00?

So the sixtieth second of the sixtieth minute of the twenty-fourth hour of the day is 23:59:59, and the next second is the first second of the first minute of the first hour of the next day, i.e. 00:00:00.

Mine displays it as the big hand on the 12 and the little hand on the 12 at exactly the same time.

The timetable program for the local PTE has times going as far as 2700 for the last routes of a working day, I believe -- internally, at least. They're displayed to the user as 0000-0300.

Easier to work with because the timetable of such day routes often depends on what the previous day was, rather than what the new day is.

Buses in London are timed on the day you'd think of their journey as running on, e.g. a bus can depart a garage at 00:02 on Saturday while another one the same route can arrive at the same garage a minute later at 24:03 on Friday. Night buses are always timed on the day that the night is, rather than the day that they actually are.

This timetable had buses running until 34:01 on Saturday night (or 10:01 on Sunday morning as anyone sensible would call it!)

What will happen at year 10,000??
I bet that will mess my computer up.

I know someone who uses five-digit dates for future-proofing - whenever he has to write the date (other than in forms where the number of digits is set for him) he'll give something like 25/01/02015 or 02015-01-25

Is he big on cryopreservation or has he an exalted view of his legacy?

He insists that he has no intention of dying before scratching off every item from his to-do list

On ATW Journey Check this morning !!!
There was an additional train following Rugby International booked to leave at 0011 but left at 0023.

00:00 Cardiff Central to Rhymney due 00:00
This train has been delayed from Cardiff Central and is now 12 minutes late.
This is due to Overcrowding. ]

That's probably because the train was officially "unadvertised", which is indicated in the schedule data by public arrival and departure times of 0000. Only the working times will have been populated. It's a bit of shoddy programming by whoever ATW have got to do that webpage though.
