Reading the local time…

Working out tonight's last trains…

Plan for another night

After midnight counts as the night before: Saturday 01:30 is still Friday night's service.

Typical last trains from central stations; the ends of a line stop earlier, and holidays use their own timetable. Check the operator's app on the night.

Lines opening and changing

The circular line and further extensions are under construction (check).
