I’m in London, CET -1; it’s currently 23:15
local time, and a night train departure in 30 minutes’ time at 23:45 is already shown as having taken place. I can’t select it. An hour ago, at 22:15, it was still working. The device on which the app is running is set to CET -1; it’s an iOS device.

    I’ve encountered problems with timezone handling in the UK too, although not the exact same issue as you. Also on iOS  

    I think the problem isn’t that the train’s departure time has passed, but that the app thinks it’s after midnight, so a new travel day has begun. 

    Were you able you resolve it ​@Unit22, and were you able to travel? Did you already have an active travel day (from other journeys that day) or was the sleeper your only train?

    That definitely sounds like a bug.

    Is this about a night train in another time zone? Then at least it shouldn't be a problem to toggle the train if you're in the same time zone.

    Unfortunately, I wasn’t able to try out this tip in time.
    The advice was: not only to change the local time, but also to set the regional settings to Great Britain. 

    I wanted to take the GWR Night Sleeper (Paddington to Penzance). After I asked on the forum, the conductor said I could travel on the train as I was. 

    I had booked a seat reservation.
