Would this be in relation to the recent weather and possible snow ingress or something much more serious.

Yesterday the Liverpool-Airport services were cancelled STP, which I would have thought ought to have been on national rail as a service disruption, but they appear to be running today.

Has it had the new seats as well SD?

A report elsewhere says 170475 and 170478 have now transferred to Northern with 170476 and 170477 due to arrive later this week

Reportedly there's a 158 at Crewe being fitted with 'ironing board' style seats.

Rare phenomenon on 10th March insofar as due to engineering work the Liverpool-Manchester Victoria service is due to engineering work diverted to Manchester Oxford Road,nothing too rare in that,but said diverted trains are actually continuing to Hazel Grove to terminate or in one case even going to Buxton
