Same can happen on the likes of the 21 & 56 for example if there is a pushchair who wants to get on but the spaces are taken and they decide not to wait for the next bus and have to fold down the pushchair, keep an eye on their baby and find the money to pay for their fare and this causes a delay and it results in the next bus catching it up.

The 56 is the worst for this as everytime I'm in Newcastle, Gateshead or Sunderland I see two together yet I don't think I've ever seen two Red Arrows together so clearly timetables are somewhat of a problem on the 56.
