I don't disagree that is sometimes happens. I was saying that, IME,
generally it doesn't.


The evening peak service of six trains per hour between 16:30 and 19:00
from Waterloo to Wandsworth Town is indeed normally very good.

However, Mait001 regards the period between 19:00 and 20:00 as part of
the evening peak - and that is the essence of his problem. His
travelling time is actually the period AFTER the evening peak and the
period in which any cumulative problems of late running during the
conventional evening peak are likely to result in very late or cancelled
services.

However, the ON network should be capable of delivering four trains per
hour even at this time - I suspect that Mait001 is right in saying that
it often fails, but it is at a later time than most commuters travel and
so we don't appreciate his problems.
