The traditional calendar I am following has Monday after Low Sunday as a day of Abstinence, why is this?
-
In the Divino Afflatu calendar, the St. Mark feast is transfered to 28th of April, since the original date, April 25th, was within the Easter Octave this year.
On the same day as St. Mark's feast, there is a not so well-known penitential day called Major Rogation. This is probably the reason that your calendar says it is an abstinence day. I guess that the Major Rogation was moved the same way as the feast of St. Mark.

I do not think that can be the correct explanation for the note in your calendar.
In both 1962 and Divino afflatu rubrics the Greater Litanies procession took place last Friday although the feast of St Mark was not observed. The rubrics for the following Mass are different and, as noted in the reply above, in DA St Mark gets translated to today.
