Stop times file: issue with hour field greater than 24 #15

Hi, I've just ran your tool on the Traveline dataset EM data and I noticed that quite a few rows on the _stoptimes.txt file have the hour as greater or equal to 24 (on both the arrival and departure times fields). For instance:

83027,23:58:00,23:58:00,3390LE18,48,,0,0,,0 83027,23:59:00,23:59:00,3390LE19,49,,0,0,,0 83027,24:00:00,24:00:00,3390LE20,50,,0,0,,0 83027,24:01:00,24:01:00,3390LE21,51,,0,0,,0 83027,24:02:00,24:02:00,3390LE31,52,,0,0,,0 83027,24:03:00,24:03:00,3390LE43,53,,0,0,,0 83027,24:04:00,24:04:00,3390C9,54,,0,0,,0 83027,24:05:00,24:05:00,3390F1,55,,1,0,,1

Is this a known issue? Let me know if I can give any further details.

Nope, that's expected behaviour. GTFS allows +24hour times to represent services that start on one day and continue into the next. See the time field in this section:

OK - my bad. Many thanks for the reference!
