Uhh.... regarding the tunnel thing - I'd never mentioned that. You seem to forget that (as pointed out by, I think, Fytton) there was never any realistic chance of said tunnel being built.Then how did Liverpool and Newcastle manage it?

Yes, which services to the Airport, Crewe (both via Stockport and via Styal), Macclesfield, Buxton, both Marple stations via both routes, Glossop, Hadfield, and Stalybridge *have* to be compatible with.
