Not only can they be blamed for it, they might well be the cause of it.
Short of building in huge layovers at Watford (which could cause other
problems if trains run punctually), it's a fact that a train delayed on
the outward journey may already be running late before it even starts
back.

Yes, I can see that but I've also travelled in from Watford Junction on the
DC lines and I can tell you that there seems to be quite a long layover
there with as many as two or three trains in the station.
