I know that Arley signal box is an LNWR box which came from Yorton on the Crewe-Shrewsbury line.

The signal box at Beamish came from Carr House East (Consett).

The waiting shelter at Glyndyfrdwy on the Llangollen Railway was formerly the shed foreman's office at Northwich shed. The lever frame in the signal box at Deeside Loop came from Northwich Central Cabin. The signal box at Glyndyfrdwy came from Leaton on the Shrewsbury-Chester line. 1789555005...

Also the remaining Northern service into Crewe will stand in platform 1 at Crewe from 58 to 46 from May 2027 unless it goes into a siding (which may be the plan).

Presumably passengers from Styal to Manchester Piccadilly will have to change at Manchester Airport from May 2027.

Bury services run through to Ashton from Monday 14th September and Eccles and Media City services start from Piccadilly station. Apparently this timetable (still with the 15-minute basic frequency) runs through to the end of the calendar year.

Confirmation that tokens for the Northern £12 day ticket offer will be in newspapers from Monday 14th September: https://www.northernrailway.co.uk/tickets/newspaper-offer

Yes the £2 fare offer has finished.

I don't know the exact details yet. I suspect 14th September to 22nd October are the dates for travel. As you say the offer ends before half term. That's normal for the autumn offer.
