Is there a problem with the track at Crewe North Junction?
For the last few days, there has been a delay in coupling the 0448 Holyhead-Euston[1R13] with the 0530 Blackpool North- Euston[1K14].
The Holyhead has been on time, and then departure delayed, waiting for the Blackpool, which has been on time at Crewe North and then taken up to 17 minutes to arrive in platform 11!
Has the Blackpool had to be shunted around Crewe in order to couple with the Holyhead?

This was also the case last week, when on Tuesday, the conductor said there was a problem in coupling, but didn't explain.
