[Tex/LaTex] How to prepare time table in the desired format

tables

I am expected to prepare a time table in the format shown below:
However, I am only able to generate this:

Following is the code which I've with me:

\documentclass[a4paper,11pt,landscape]{book}
\usepackage[inner=0.3in,outer=0.3in,tmargin=1in,bmargin=1in]{geometry}
\usepackage[T1]{fontenc}
\usepackage[utf8]{inputenc}
\usepackage{lmodern}
\usepackage{hyperref}
\usepackage{graphicx}
\usepackage[english]{babel}
\usepackage{booktabs}
\usepackage{multirow}
\usepackage[table,xcdraw]{xcolor}

%\setlength{\arrayrulewidth}{1mm}
%\setlength{\tabcolsep}{18pt}

\begin{document}

\pagenumbering{gobble}
% Please add the following required packages to your document preamble:
% \usepackage{multirow}
% \usepackage[table,xcdraw]{xcolor}
% If you use beamer only pass "xcolor=table" option, i.e. \documentclass[xcolor=table]{beamer}
\begin{table}[]

[Tex/LaTex] Tabular and grid typesetting

Using David's suggestion, I used

\let\oldtabular\tabular
\let\oldendtabular\endtabular
\def\tabular{\setlength{\lineskiplimit}{0pt}\oldtabular}
\def\endtabular{\oldendtabular\setlength{\lineskiplimit}{-10pt}}

which more or less seems to fix the problem. If anyone has a more elegant/better solution, please let me know!

One way is to shift up the skip prior to the mid-height \tabucline with a \\[-1pt]. See below for 2nd approach.

Alternately, if you want the thin line to bisect the thick line, then the approach: \\[-1pt] \tabucline[1 pt]{3-5}\\[-12.5pt]\hline works.
