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

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.


It was referred to as free travel on or for NYE by (for example) TfL,
Metro, Evening Standard, Time Out, and the BBC - most media (as is the
modern way) copying from TfL's Press Release. Where please did you see
it called NYD free travel?

OK, no "Eve" or "Day", but in my mind if defaults to the latter if not
mentioned.

I did say "normal", meaning the same as in previous years, which have
never given free travel all day on the 1st of January. I assumed
people in u.t.l already knew that, and I didn't need to provide the
full terms and conditions.
