Are any of the cross / trans pennine routes loco hauled ?

[General Zod]

As I'm going to be doing some cross-pennine line bashing in a few weeks I was wondering if there are still any loco-hauled or HST paths from the NW ( Liverpool, Preston, Manchester ) across Yorkshire and onwards to York / Newcastle. Are they all Northern / TPE DMUs ?

Aside from Charter trains, all trains that cross the Pennines are DMUs.

apart from the ECS NXEC HST move in the summer from Neville hill to Manchester

Not much use for bashing though?

 

[MCR247]

no

Then it kinda stands to reason, as a kinda pointless post...

As above, there are not even HSTs to the west of Leeds
The way I got round this was travel by HST to the north of York to Newcastle, where you have a choice of either Cross Country or NXEC

There is a morning Leeds-Aberdeen NXEC.

Except the one to Skipton

As already stated, there are nothing other than DMU services from either side of the Pennines to the other.
