I read that as refering to St Helens Junction services via Newcastle, but in any case that is from 2016, before it became clear GWR wouldn't be releasing enough units. I was stating that Liverpool-Glasgow trains don't and never were starting until December 2018.As for the Warrington Guardian article that's dated March 2015!

TPE have submitted track application to divert the Scarborough service via Chat Moss from this December. The track application is part of the modified plan as it doesn't include the 6th Manchester to Leeds service or diverting services via the Ordsall Chord, which were supposed to start this year.

However, the Northern plans for December 2017 don't mention the Liverpool-Warrington-Manchester Airport service starting this December, which would be needed to replace the TPE service via the CLC.
