I also dont understand where they will be able to get the units for a St Helens - London service without diverting Preston - London trains via liverpool.

I suspect by 2015 we will see:

1) Liverpool-London Fast (provided by FWC)
2) Liverpool-Birmingham Semi Fast (provided by London Midland)
3) Liverpool-London Semi-Fast (provided by London Midland)
4) Liverpool-Newcastle Fast (provided by Transpennine Express)
5) Liverpool-Scotland Fast (joining at Preston) (provided by Transpennine Express). This could call at St Helens.

Perhaps longer term we may well see a Liverpool-St Helens Jn-Warrington-London service, I suspect we will certainly see it used as a diversion.
