Seeing reports about that the platform staff at Manchester Victoria walked off the job last night due to abusive passengers, any knowledge?
I can only speak for myself but the general behaviour around towns and cities on Saturday nights in particular is appalling so I wouldn't be surprised if something had given - we've had a few problems week after week on our patch with trains getting trashed, crews and station staff assaulted and mass (20-30+ people) riots on trains and spilling out onto platforms for a while.
I should point out it's not a new thing though - our area has very few late trains as a legacy from BR pulling them due to anti social behaviour in the 90s.
