Doesn't surprise me considering the fact at quite a decent percentage of them run through Manchester Castlefield. Then there's more minor pinch points (not to say these are non-issues, but nothing compares to the terror of Castlefield) North of Sheffield, around Leeds, Manchester Airport, etc.
Overcrowding doesn't help either, takes a while for trains to get in and out of stations. New trains and double sets on south transpennine will help.
I think TPE also had some staffing issues like Northern, although I think these have improved somewhat recently?
I've noticed an increase in cancellations this week from TPE due to lack of crew. Could be down to half term or the introduction of the pre-cancelled services
