last train
Midnight rail service
The last train is the final scheduled train service of the day on a particular route.
Missing it means waiting until morning or finding alternative transport: We need to leave now or we'll miss the last train.
The phrase carries urgency and sometimes romantic or dramatic weight—a deadline that can't be negotiated.
