If you can get onto one of the Virgin platforms at Manchester as a
result, maybe so.

At present Virgin platforms at both ends are not barriered. If a
manual grip is taking place, it's close enough to the train that it
isn't just checked that you have a ticket, it's checked that it is one
valid for that train. So not a problem.
