There is a notice at Hyndland station giving the opening hours of the
ticket office. From Monday to Saturday it closes at 20:04, but on
Sunday it claims to stay open until 23:35. What on earth could be the
reason for that?

(In fact, when I got off a train at Hyndland at 23:00 last night,
Sunday, the ticket office was shut)

The only reason that occurs to my mind is that the train service starts
later in the morning - 0800ish instead of 05mumble. Perhaps they have
two shifts that overlap to some degree during the week, but on Sundays
follow on from each other.

Short staffed again?

perhaps the conductor off the train you got off pays his money in there
