There will be the possibility of anglo Scottish services being diverted via Edge Hill instead of Manchester or Warrington , which gives some more operational flexability as well in the future
Just been watching Youtube and an Advert came up involving a Virgin Train on Platform 7 at Liverpool Lime Street
The problems at Warrington (noted in the ATW Thread) are also affecting Virgin services and there is a rail replacement bus / coach service in operation between Warrington and Wigan.
Times like these that the electrified Chat Moss route becomes very useful
I agree but some times if it isnt planned it just displaces staff which can cause more disruption when traincrew are no longer in the right place .
Everybody hates road replacement transport but sometimes its best for the operations staff .
Sounds like absolute chaos at Manchester Piccadilly tonight , with services stopping short at Stockport or Wilmslow , this is caused by OHLE fault .

I agree it was more than just Piccadilly suffering yesterday but just that one incident at Slade Lane had repercussions in all directions , its a long time since i saw delays of such magnitude though.
