Looking online I can see mention in a cached version of a blog.ubuntu.com post that Ubuntu 14.04 LTS is EOL on 30th April 2019, however it has been updated to just April 2019. What is the official EOL date for 14.04 LTS?

  If won't be before 17-April-2019 (5 years after release date), and yeah I believe 30-April-2019 was mentioned in blog.ubuntu.com/2018/09/19/… , but LTS releases are commonly covered till end-of-month.

The EOL of Ubuntu 14.04 is on the 17th of April 2019.

To obtain the EOL date of any Ubuntu distro you can use the following command

$ ubuntu-distro-info --all -yeol -f 
Ubuntu 14.04 LTS "Trusty Tahr" 29

It will print the days till support ends. Here 29 days.

To install the command use

$ sudo apt install distro-info

To get the date, use e.g. the date command

$ date +"%Y-%m-%d" --date '+29 day' 
2019-04-17

You can automate this with sed, e.g. to get a list of currently supported releases with their EOL date:

$ ubuntu-distro-info --supported -yeol -f | sed "s/.* ([0-9]*)/echo -n ' &r';date -d+1day +%F/e"
2019-04-17 Ubuntu 14.04 LTS "Trusty Tahr" 28
2021-04-21 Ubuntu 16.04 LTS "Xenial Xerus" 763
2023-04-26 Ubuntu 18.04 LTS "Bionic Beaver" 1498
2019-07-18 Ubuntu 18.10 "Cosmic Cuttlefish" 120

According to Ubuntu Version History - Wikipedia

Normal LTS support is set to continue until 30 April 2019, after which Extended Security Maintenance will be available to Ubuntu Advantage customers and as a separate commercial purchase, as was the case previously with 12.04.

Considering the above statement normal LTS updates are expected to be received till 30 April '19.

  Seems like Wikipedia is wrong on this. The article it links to to support that claim doesn't say 30 April 2019. It says "...With the end of the five-year LTS, Standard Security Maintenance window for Ubuntu 14.04 approaching in April 2019..." 14.04 was released on 17th April 2014, so five years later would jibe with the information from ubuntu-distro-info in abu_bua's answer.
