A summary of what I've noticed:
* Liverpool to Stalybridge service set to be truncated at Victoria - options for replacement service for Stalybridge being examined.
* Blackpool North to Victoria service to run to Huddersfield (but no through service in reverse with a Huddersfield-Wigan service instead.)
* 1tph Liverpool to Victoria to Newcastle and 1tph Airport to York service (standard pattern) in lieu of 1tph Airport to Newcastle (standard pattern) - Newcastle to continue to get a limited direct Airport service.
* A Rochdale service extended to Todmorden (reversing on re-opened Todmorden curve. Burnley-Manchester service to start in December 2014 due to Northern not being able to source additional rolling stock in time for May 2014.)
* New 05:40 Blackpool Manchester and 06:50 Manchester Preston Northern Rail services to replace withdrawn TPE services.
* 15:33 Hazel Grove Preston and 17:23 from Preston to Hazel Grove services to get extra capacity.
* Peak time Barrow to Manchester Airport morning services and evening Manchester Airport to Barrow services to remain.
