Does anyone know where the hub location is for the North West/Greater Manchester?

I guess that Cumbria would be somewhere near Carlisle, and Manchester near Trafford Park, what about "Greater Manchester"? I know they used to have their depot at Warrington and I guess the yard still exists.


Thanks

Also if anyone knows what's signed and what sort of work is done out of the Warrington area hub is that'd be grand information to know too! Thanks

Cumbria is just Carlisle, but because you book on at Carlisle station or at kingmoor and now they have grouped everyone into “hubs”, Carlisle is basically Cumbria as there is no other book on points in Cumbria, midlands can have a few book on points. Not sure on warringtons work I know they sign carlisle and crew but prob go a lot further too.
