Wouldnt it be easier to implement a Rail Replacement Bus service , than have a one train an hour service .

Any idea what the actual problem is or was , considering most of Liverpool Lime street is in a possession blockade it must have been serious for the service to be temporary suspended .

Track circuit failure and buses are running to Edge Hill to connect into/out of Wigan services.May as well run 1 train an hour if that's what Network Rail can offer rather than none

Sounds like the track circuits are still down and working on the principal of one train working only.

319372 is the latest 319 to arrive at Allerton from Wolverton for service. This leaves only 373 of the sub class not to have come north.

Next week RTT shows two tph between Lime St and Victoria, the Northern pdf only one, as has been the case this week.
Which is correct.
