Default Daylight savings end

In the early morning of October 28, do all night buses run for an extra hour? Will any daytime buses which have scheduled departures after 1am on Saturday night also run for an extra hour?

On the opposite day in March, do buses scheduled to depart after 1am simply not run, or run to GMT? I presume that a few workings of each night bus would be skipped.

On October 28th, night buses will run to BST. This means that they will run to their timetables as if there had been no time change, and it will make it appear as if they have stopped running an hour too early.

eg. If the last night bus is at 6am, then the last bus on October 28th will be at 6am (BST) or 5am (GMT)

The reverse situation happens at the end of March.

I am not sure what happens with regard to 24 hour routes, maybe they have to put a few extra buses into the timetable.

Strictly speaking, from 1am to 2am is still BST, at which point it
becomes 1am again (GMT).

I wouldn't be surprised to discover that trains change at 4am.
