Lack of travelling cleaners seems the main problem. Northern have cleaners during the daytime at some terminal points, I've seen them at Blackpool, Southport, Manchester Airport for example. Trouble is for example a train arrives at Manchester Airport from Barrow dirty bit the cleaner says they don't have enough time (when the 6 minute turnaround becomes 2) the train then goes to Windermere and does several trips to Oxenholme before returning to the airport all without being cleaned.
Why don't they have the cleaners travel back and forth between Picc and the Airport cleaning them on the move when they're fairly quiet?
