Signal Failure at Liverpool Lime St

[Jozhua]

Never been to Liverpool Lime St, however I was travelling on an EMT train from Sheffield to Manchester and heard there had been a major signal failure, as announced by the guard.
Even more interestingly, there is an EMT 156 coupled to a 158 on the terminating platforms at Piccadilly, wondering if this is related?

Its an Axle Counter Failure affecting Platforms 1 to 5 at Liverpool Lime Street.

1R74 0857 from Norwich terminated short at Piccadilly as a result of the issues.

The 156 coupled up to the 158 is probably not related to the signalling issues, as they regularly work in pairs to and from Liverpool. 1R74 terminated short at Piccadilly as a result of the issues.

Oh I didn't mean the fact the 156 was coupled up to the 158, rather the fact EMT trains are in the terminating Piccadilly platforms.

Just edited my message (multiple) times. Couldn't quite get it right the first time.

There was one yesterday too, somewhere on the Runcorn route.
LNR had some cancellations (turning at Crewe) but Virgin ran at least one train via Earlestown.
I discovered this when a red train flashed eastwards past my 323 near Rainhill.

With 1L13 (1452 Liverpool to Norwich) starting at Manchester, which explains why you saw it in the bay.

Couldn't have lasted long, it was fine at 3pm when I got my train home from there.
