Its probably moved to DMR. Most rail communications in the UK have moved to DMR there still may be some analog transmissions about such as the one you heard. I believe all UK rail analog transmissions will go to DMR very soon.

If you check the WTR you will note several new freqs allocated recently.

Can you tell me if station staff (cleaners) are still 453.6125, Northern staff 453.225, Avanti 453.300 or 462.300. On a good day I can hear Manchester Piccadilly from St Helens, its weak but still readable.

The platform staff could still be heard on 453.550 not long ago. I could hear them from Warrington. It was barely readable but platform numbers and train headcodes gave away which station it was. Avanti are usually DMR but not encrypted on various frequencies and colour codes. Talk groups and slots all the same but various frequencies. I'll try and get to Manchester in the next couple of weeks or so.
