I have noticed with the new timetable change there are some service which have been combined and are now through trains:

1) Blackpool North - Manchester Victoria - Huddersfield
on weekdays the 1120 Blackpool - Manchester service was always booked as 2 units (4 car) is this still the same?

2)Huddersfield - Manchester Victoria - Wigan Wallgate

3)1557 Southport - Manchester Victoria - Leeds via Huddersfield
on this service between Huddersfield and Leeds which depot crews it, just thinking in case a 156 ended up on it? as i don't think Leeds crews sign them anymore. Looking on realtime this unit then goes ECS to Neville Hill.

4) On Sundays do the Blackpool North to Manchester Victoria services still run as 4 cars, and do the Blackpool North to Liverpool services run as 156+142?

5) The diagrams for the Manchester to Blackpool workings as far as I can tell work like:

Southport - Manchester Vic
Manchester Vic - Blackpool N
Blackpool N - Huddersfield
Huddersfield - Wigan
Wigan - Manchester Vic

This is me just tracing by platform arrivals, im sure someone can correct me, if the above is correct does this mean that Blackpool will now see more class 142 units?

I think the 1621 Blackpool North-Todmorden is booked 2 x 142. As well as that the 0823 MCV-BPN and 0923 MCV-BPN are also double units.
