I've haven't watched the meeting to see what was actually said.

Showing all services between Liverpool and Wigan, meaning it wouldn't be possible to get Northern to Wigan and then Avanti to Preston either. There's just 3 TransPennine trains from Lime Street to Glasgow via Preston but Northern have said Northern tickets are being accepted on TPE services tomorrow if there's no alternative Northern service in the 60 minutes following the cancelled service.

Also, while not mentioned all Leeds to Chester are turning around at Victoria, as has been the case for the past couple of months.

A number of routes have 50-100% of services cancelled today - as is becoming the norm for Sundays.
