Can anyone tell me if the following is possible

I need 2 Samba Shares for example share1 and share2, both sharing an
identical location, however I want once PC to connect using share1 and
everyone else to use share2 so far so good this works.

However, at 1am in the morning I want to stop share2 and disconnect users
whilst not effecting access via share1. Then at 2am restart share2.

From the tests I've done the only way to do this is to copy different
versions of smb.conf then do a service smb restart, however this disconnects
the user on share1, trying a service smb reload whilst share2 disappears
from the network anyone connected to it can still access files.

Can I do this? Is there another way?

I think you might have luck with the command "smbcontrol smbd close-share share2". You could also forcibly disconnect all users connected to share2. At the same time, you would need a changed smb.conf to prevent them to reconnect, like you already have.

Good luck,

roel
