Train ticket prices

Maybe people on here may know, just wondering why train ticket prices have dramatically risen for Kent -> Sheffield and vice versa.

With a 16-25 railcard, I got two singles from Strood to Sheffield for the Huddersfield away match for around £17 to £19 each.

With the same railcard, a single from Sheffield back to Strood on the 20th December is £56!

Can't find anything about a rise in London - Sheffield train ticket prices anywhere, seems completely unwarranted. Anybody know why this rise has suddenly happened?

    Weekend before Christmas the trains will be packed so no need to offer cheap tickets.

    I've looked for a single for the same journey in mid-November and they're £56 then as well. I don't remember it being that much two years ago, mental.

    I do the London to Sheffield route most weekends, using a 16-25 always around £40, even if you book pretty late
