Note that Sheffield trains were stoppers west of Doncaster (and east of Doncaster at certain times). It wasn't until later, and class 158 introduction, that the Cleethorpes train became the second hourly fast on the Hope Valley route. In 1989, the Liverpool to Norwich service was the Hope Valley fast with a Blackpool North to Nottingham train every two hours in the morning.
Thanks for that link - an excellent and very interesting thread!This post of mine from 2016 includes a list of longish distance Summer Saturday departures from Cleethorpes (scroll down the page):

I thought that some of you might be interested in what summer saturday services operated before the growth of road traffic & overseas holidays. To avoid posts of excessive length, I have split the lists into sections. The lists show summer saturday departures from coastal holiday resorts, but...www.railforums.co.uk
