Is it clear if these new units would be bi/tri-mode, or all electric?

TPE isn't going to be a fully electrified network any time soon.Is it clear if these new units would be bi/tri-mode, or all electric?
When will Manchester to York be completed? When it is the Liverpool to Newcastle route will be all-electric and you can cascade the 802s onto the south route.TPE isn't going to be a fully electrified network any time soon.
2032 was talked about at one stage https://www.railforums.co.uk/thread...ranspennine-services-tru.238926/#post-5914541 but is an actual date even known? https://www.railforums.co.uk/thread...ation-updates-cp6.88054/page-241#post-6483792When will Manchester to York be completed?

Liverpool to Newcastle is only an 8-hour cycle. Even if that was all electric, plus perhaps a Manchester to York service, that doesn't account for 29 units.
