The free travel ended at 0430 1st Jan and there weren't any reports

That's a good point. I was expecting the free travel to have been
all day on the 1st.

Why? It's been 2345 NYE to 0430 NYD for years and years and years.

With the railway day ending at 4.30am I'd expect that to be called a
New Years Eve free travel period, not a NYD one.

Which is exactly what it is called!

Grubby company, grubby business.
