Cool ... I'm a sucker for maps. I checked at 4:41 PM PDT (utc-7) and saw a _bunch_ of trains around London. What are all those people doing riding trains at 12:41 AM London time?_

[edit: added PM]

I think London commuter trains generally finish up around that time.

This is fairly typical for commuter trains in general, really; a last train time of midnight to 1 am, resuming around 5am, is common. 24 hour commuter trains are relatively rare, as the volume isn't there and they tend to do track maintenance at night.

Coming back from the pub? At least when I'm on a train at 12:41am, that's usually the reason.
