On Sunday, this:-

http://www.northernrail.org/travel/trackwork/w2802Man%20Vic-Staly.xls.pdf

but I can think of no good reason for Saturday, because Northern
appear to be operating Liverpool<->Staly trains via Vic at xx48
throughout Saturday if the planner is anything to go by. There is
also a bus (nobody admitting to being the operator) at xx05.

Unless, of course, the new Chat Moss express does eat all the
capacity, but I doubt it. Last time this happened, *everything* went
via Vic, including both of the CLC expresses.

"Can't be bothered" could be the explanation. Possibly, TPX
drivers/conductors no longer sign Chat Moss, but that would be *very*
counterproductive given that diversions that way are pretty common.
CT guards/drivers didn't last time, but fNW staff were contracted in.
