I noted that my holiday for w/c 13.10.25 was planned as peak too.
Management did not seem to get what I was saying.

When I first read this I thought I wonder if you're one of the people recently made up to 'proper' full time but for a start you'd assume they would have told you plus you'd have received an updated contract in the post. Best ask your manager.

I’m on a 40-hr contract, which I work all year round (ie no seasonal variation). Despite this, my A/L shows as 42 hrs used for a week off! Seems we’re all affected by this glitch?

All of the leave cards for people made up to permanent full time, having been lied to for years, have been completely messed up. All of the c. 9 guys in our unit had their days off removed and in exchange every Sat/Monday off substituted (obviously inferring we work Sundays). I asked HR for a copy of my new contract they sent me a copy of the original 2014 copy and all of the variation letters I've been sent since. It could be a stitch up to say that's your job (i.e. Sundays working) once this USO revision comes in. It shows why they can't be trusted with anything.
