24 validity when travelling east?

I’m travelling from London to Sweden, leaving at 6am, arriving Copenhagen just before midnight. I need to continue to Sweden, train leaves after midnight so I have bought a separate ticket for that but it just struck me that it’s less than 24 hours after the day started. But presumably that’s just tough luck when you travel east - whereas if you travel to England (for example) you get an extra hour, until midnight GMT?

For the validity of your pass, it is the local time of departure that counts.

Thank you very much! I thought it was like that but just struck me that you get 23-25 hours then (don’t think you can travel between 3 zones :-) )

A travel day is from 00.00 to 23.59 CET.
