Engineering work is taking place between Wigan North Western and Manchester Oxford Road, closing all lines.
As a result, the 22:15 Edinburgh to Manchester Airport service (to Manchester Piccadilly on Wednesday), will terminate at Preston. A replacement bus will run between Preston and Manchester Piccadilly / Manchester Airport via Wigan North Western.
From Tuesday to Friday, the 05:03 Manchester Airport to Newcastle will be retimed to depart Manchester Airport and Manchester Piccadilly earlier than normal.
