A 319 will also be freed up, which is currently operating a temporary Manchester Airport to Preston diagram in lieu of the full Airport to Barrow services.
I take it they are short of EMU's still?
These Liverpool services run on the non electrified CLC line via Warrington Central, so have to be worked by DMUs.
I don't know about the 1634.
TPE is only going to stop at Bolton in off peak hours. The 1610, 1710 and 1810 departures from the Airport will continue to run non stop from Oxford Road to Preston.

The northern 195 schedules for weekdays from 1st July 2019
**UPDATED WITH CORRECTIONS MADE**
195 Diagrams by Mike McNiven, on Flickr
from the Northern Pacer Withdrawals thread is a good point. How many crews have actually been trained to use the 195s? And, if a diagram falls over for lack of trained staff, will there be units availabale to substitute in? For example, will the current 158s have already fled back over the Pennines?
In the grand scheme of things the numbers trained are very low, probably well less than 10% of traincrew even discounting the depots that are unlikely to sign the units (North East). However there are only crews from 5 depots in the North West that need to sign them and even then depots are split into links so maybe only one link will be trained but that's all that is needed, there does seem to be quite a bit of randomness in where gaps still lie. The answer to your question is that there are probably enough trained to initially operate the service but with very little slack. I wouldn't be surprised to see cancellations or unit substitutions but also wouldn't be surprised if everything goes well. I am not sure that Northerns management are totally on top of it, most management plan for worst case scenario and hopefully get better results but have a back up, wheras Northern expect everything to go to plan and then look who they can blame if something goes wrong, but they may get lucky. Obviously as training continues the situation will get better.
Yes, that's correct. It does 'replace' the service that was via Wigan. And, yes, there is no direct train from Piccadilly or Oxford Road to Wigan between the 1618 and the 1718. (To be honest, for anyone who needs to travel in that hour the quickest option is a service to Victoria and jump on the 1650/1655 train to Wigan from there).
From Monday onward, the 1634 Manchester Airport to Barrow will pass through Salford Crescent at, all being well, 1704. This is the only passenger service through there for the time being. It does not stop, and is scheduled, according to RTT, to pass through platform 2.
Jozhua was asking a genuine question about said diagrams. Only one of the Barrow/Windermere services each day passes through Salford Crescent, something which there is no way to know from the information in Post #1.
Although this is supposed to be via Bolton, when it runs (which seems far from guaranteed at the moment) I've seen it run by either route. It's the up working which becomes the 2210 Airport-Barrow which I often use to get home, so I pay close attention to it to see whether I'm going to need to make other arrangements.
