He did encounter big warning signs saying "Congestion charge 0700-0630"

I don't think so.

Would that be because the signs actually say:

"Congestion ChargING" .... 7am-6.30pm

If he didn't, then he didn't enter the Kengestion zone... Or he had his
eyes closed...

Well (cough), *somebody* has his eyes closed...

One hell of a night shift, I thought 12 hours was bad, but 24? I trust
you wont drive back after that.

The railway yard isn't covered by the congestion charge (are there any
in the CC area anyway?), the public road is, and you'll have to pay.
Sucks, I know, it's the usual shiftism that the world has.

Why? Half past midnight isn't "live" charge-time.

Since the car isn't on the road inside the charge zone at charge-time,
there's nothing to pay. Of course, they'd happily accept your £8, I'm
sure...

No, but if he leaves it on the public road for 24 hours it will be
parked in the charge time.

But it was explicitly stated it wouldn't be.

If he parks in the railway yard.

Which was explicitly stated...

24 hour night shifts sound like a killer though

Indeed. But maybe there's an extended rest period at the other end of a
rail journey?

40 years ago on the Western it was called "Double Home", you would work
from a city say Bristol to another say Birmingham, then stay and sleep
in a railway hostel then perform you next shift back home, simple
really.
