Nitelink timetable

    Can somebody settle my question regarding the Nitelink timetables?

    http://www.dublinbus.ie/Your-Journey1/Timetables/All-Timetables/7n/

    According to this link, going by the 24 hour clock, it would suggest the Nitelink only runs on Friday and Saturday mornings between midnight to 4am. However, is it possible this still refers to 1am, 2 am, 3am etc.. on Friday night/ Saturday morning and Saturday night/ Sunday morning. It would have been handy had the website specified.

    Thanks to anybody who can help :D

    I've often wondered why they did it this way.

    The best of my own knowledge (haven't used the Nitelink in many moons), when they state 00:00, 01:00 etc... on a Friday, they are actually referring to the early hours of Saturday morning (thus "Friday Night").

    I could easily be wrong here, but I do believe that this is what DB mean on the timetable.

    Problem is, that this approach makes little sense on a 24-hour clock. Those times should be listed in Saturday and Sunday respectfully, in order to facilitate traffic from "Friday Night" and "Saturday Night".

    My guess is that they are calling it a Friday-Saturday service to cater for persons who don't consider Friday/Saturday to be over until about 0500 the next morning :D

    They are referred to as Friday and Saturday as they form part of Friday and Saturday's bus services.

    Well actually from a ticketing/capping perspective Friday and Saturday last until 04:30 the next morning - same as in London.

    But as above they operate only on Friday and Saturday nights.
