From tomorrow,Hankyu and Hanshin trains last departures will be 11.45pm!!! Gonna be a mad dash from the gaijin bars to catch the trains.Back in my going out days,Hankyu’s last train on the Kobe line from Umeda was 12.25am.But this change will spoil people’s nights getting hammered.

I always lived outside of the cities so my last trains were always 11:45-ish. Hell, even in Tokyo now from Shibuya my last train back to my station is 11:48.
Honestly, you’re not missing much. Most people burn out by 12:30 anyway.
It does offer an escape route for unsolicited nomikais
Either they’ll stop partying sooner, or they’ll stay out until the next train at 6ish. No big deal. I have slept at the train station before.
Just drink faster.

Last train is 24.10, at least for Hankyu.
Why do you say 11:45? Mine (Hankyu Umeda to Nishinomiya) changes from 12:09 to 12:10 according to their website.
What’s more annoying than the last train is the
A) Small, but major changes during morning rush (my normal train is now 3 minutes later, which will cause me to miss my connection to JR Osaka, making me 10 minutes later to work than I am now, so I’ll have to leave 15 minutes earlier now just to get to work at the same time)
B) All train frequencies are reduced after 9 pm, on all lines, every day
