Are timetables meant to be more relaxed on a Sunday? Has anyone found the opposite ? I personally seem to get less time on a Sunday (extra stops - same time allowed)

From my local station to Leeds on a weekday the timings are 32-35 minutes with most trains taking 33 or 34.
On a Sunday they're timed at 31 or 32 minutes.
Same number of stops.

Not NR per se, but Tyne and Wear Metro are timed tighter on Sundays (and evenings), to the tune of about 5 minutes a journey. The upshot is shorter dwell times, particularly in the central area, and slightly more aggressive acceleration. It's needed because it reduces the vehicle requirement to operate a 15-minute service on both routes, and is mostly achieveable
