All the platform numbers for departures from Manchester Piccadilly seem to be missing from Darwin at the moment. Does anyone have any idea what's causing that?

Also, not being at the station myself I don't know what the effect of this on the station displays is. Is every service just appearing as if the platform hasn't been published yet (like departures from Euston tend to until a few minutes before)?

Just come from platform 13/14 to Bolton place is packed with city fans and it’s chaos, screens don’t match actual trains

Generally this means the station has disconnected from Darwin, not unusual during disruption. The station displays will be operating as normal.

I suspect their Worldline has been isolated from Darwin. The station screens will still be showing platform numbers.

Edit: beaten to it by @louis97

All of the summary screens seemed to have stopped working completely this afternoon.

There was a network fault, which was also affecting some screens at Liverpool Lime Street that used the same circuit, but its now fixed

The screens were working but they weren't showing real time information, for example they were showing that all services were on time when in reality they weren't, the screens at Manchester Oxford Road and I think Deansgate were working fine though as I came through both stations last night

The screens at Oxford Road and Deansgate are on a different system and controlled from the ROC

The station flooding from the torrential downpour yesterday likely didnt help.
