FSVO "Without problems".
I'm fairly sure that splitting the route at Nottingham wouldn't be too
much of a problem as very few passengers travel "through". But perhaps
it would be better in the long run to split it at Sheffield, and have
some other ToC do the Sheffield/Manchester/Liverpool run. The
Nottingham-Manchester leg is already so slow that you'd only do it if
you had a really good reason not to drive, so a change at Sheffield
wouldn't be that much of an issue.
