Hi, I am making my own activity to Rijndam 2018 and the last running metro comes to Molenwijk at 02:29am and I am wondering can I set the time to 02:29 in the ACT file or do I need to set it to 27:29 as the simulators clock have done to me many times in Simvliet 2013. :?:

After midnight the clock does not reset, so you should keep counting to higher numbers ;)

The time is always relative to the date of the timetable the train belongs to. So a train that belongs to the Friday timetable but runs through the night and only arrives at it's final destination Saturday early morning will arrive at for example 28:42. Real life NS timetable includes time up to 30:00 because of this.

Indeed. I have build timetables for the public transport company Syntus, and the timetable program they are using goes up to 37:00. Not that those high time are ever used, but at least it is available when needed. It could be usefull for planning long distance nightlines (perhaps a Eurolines busline from Paris to Madrid or something line that).
