Considering many football fans probably finish work at 5, get home and then head out again then unlike a Saturday then the amount of people travelling in a short space of time is more likely hence the delays.We have the same with buses. Unforeseen traffic levels, foreseen match day (and/or other events) traffic, and match day loadings on buses. These all cause delays to service and some are of the opinion that timetables should be altered accordingly to allow for a realistic "just in case" timetable rather than a consistent and less confusing one.
How many football trains were put on and whether more should be put on is another debate mind!
Michael, for example, might think that Stagecoach buses running around in trios at 17:00 in Sunderland is "a joke". Happens every day, with some days worse than others.
