According to the Atkins 2011 Report into the Stafford Area upgrade and Norton Bridge Junction replacement in particular, one of the positives is provision of 3 additional passenger and one freight train per hour each way. One of the additional trains quoted was Euston-Blackpool/Windermere splitting/joining at Preston. This could just have stopped at Carnforth if the mainline platforms had been there.
A lot has been played on this report saying that Norton Bridge allows a load of extra paths, it isn't specific on where they are going to and from and I really can't see where they are, especially south of Rugby.
