It does affect certain other journeys (e.g. Warrington Central to Manchester via Earlestown or Birchwood) mentioned here:

From the Bolton News, it seems that other operators have to follow Northern Rail's lead.

A First TransPennine Express (FTPE) spokesperson said it was Northern, as the lead route operator, that was responsible for deciding ticket policy but FTPE was obliged to enforce it.

Though really I think this originated with the Department for Transport, who gave Northern Rail a number of options to choose from.

There has been no change on GMPTE's webpage for the Wayfarer, so I can only assume it will continue to be: bus any time, train/tram after 09:30 only (any time weekends).
