Hi Manitoba, welcome to the forum.
Don't the DMU's run fron Lime Street to Oxford Road or Piccadilly? Both are currently electric terminii. If the line into Manchester Victoria were electrified then it would relive the overcrowding of Piccadilly platforms 13 & 14.
In steam days, Liverpool trains ran from M/c Exchange to Lime Street across Chat Moss (LNWR), M/c Victoria to Liverpool Central via Wigan bypass line (L&YR) and Manchester Central via Warrington to Liverpool Brunswick(?).
I thought that the original plan was to electrify all the triangle Liverpool; Wigan: Manchester plus the Blackpool "branch". I see the cynics are gathering already. (I wonder why?)
