Overnight travel puts departures at hours nobody would choose, and a coach or a check-in at 10:17 pm is not moved by how inconvenient it is. This page counts down to that time exactly, so the last hour before leaving can be spent packing rather than doing arithmetic.
Nothing is downloaded, nothing is registered, and nothing is left on the device afterwards. The whole count runs inside the page you already have open. Closing it costs nothing at all, and opening it again later simply shows the accurate gap to 10:17 pm as it stands at that moment.
Between the last Sunday in March and the last Sunday in October the country runs on BST rather than GMT, which is why timetables and confirmations sometimes carry the label as well as the number. This page counts down to 10:17 pm using whatever your device is currently set to, so the switch is handled for you.
Common questions
Is it affected by the clocks changing?
Only in the sense that your device is. When the change between GMT and BST happens at the end of March and October, the device adjusts and the countdown follows it without anything to do here.
What is 22:17 in the 12-hour clock?
That is 10:17 pm, or seventeen minutes past ten at night if you are saying it aloud. From 13:00 onwards, subtracting twelve gives the pm figure — the same moment written three different ways.
Does the number update by itself?
Yes. It recalculates every second from your device's clock, so there is nothing to refresh or restart. Whatever is on screen is the current gap to the target time, not a figure worked out when the page first loaded.
What happens if 10:17 pm has already gone for today?
The count simply carries on towards the next occurrence, which is tomorrow. That rollover happens on its own — the page does not need reloading and there is nothing to reset by hand.
