Apparently originally caused by a broken down freight train but made much worse after a signalling mistake almost caused a 323 to crash in to a Voyager, end result no southbound services for an extended period, which later led to no northbound trains for an extended period on many lines due to return workings also being cancelled.

I was caught out at Liverpool Lime Street as a result. The 15.52 (IIRC) EMT train to Norwich was cancelled as a result of this incident. Quite why it could not have been rerouted via Brinnington or Hyde Central line is beyond me.
