I’ll start: Greggs is massively overrated. I genuinely don’t understand how people hype it.
Edit: this is a casual community so it would be great if we could avoid politics lest it descend into chaos!

Yeah because you’re going to a major city. But if you’re not going to a major city or you’re going by a link then you start having problems.
If my train is 15 minutes late and I’m getting a connection in Manchester then it’s a major issue, if you’re getting off in Manchester it’s a minor inconvenience.
It’s sod’s law that if your train is delayed then the connecting train will depart exactly on time. The other classic inevitable is that the size of the train is inversely proportionate to the expected passenger count.
Could also just be that they’re trying to commute five days a week, and it’s just three days a week the train isn’t cancelled. My brother commutes to Manchester, and while the train there works, the train home is cancelled pretty often, and he needs to take a later one.
I don’t know about Manchester I don’t think I’ve ever even been in Manchester train station but Leeds is terrible for this.
I used to work on the outskirts of Leeds but on the opposite side from where I lived, so I’d have to get a train into Leeds and then a connecting train out of Leeds.
The train into Leeds was usually fine (in the sense that it was running, but it was often delayed) but the one out of Leeds was very frequently delayed or straight up canceled.
