Got my statement today and have a few issues:
...
3. Some strange times appear e.g. I got on a bus at 25:03 (is this to
do with travelcards being valid until 3am=27:00?)

I seek references or evidence for the use of, so to speak, the 24-hour
clock outside the range 00:00 to 24:00. One of my Web pages wants to
refer.

The ticketing system has used the concept of days longer than 24 hours
for a long time to reflect the fact that the traffic day and associated
ticket validity can stretch in to the next calendar day.

There is nothing unusual in this from my experience.
