Liverpool to Sunderland (extension of Liverpool to Newcastle service)

That ended in 2004. Arriva Trains Northern operated it as a TPE branded service but when the government awarded a new separate TPE franchise there was no requirement for trains to run to Sunderland. They also were required to run more consistent services so pretty much all Liverpool trains went to Scarborough.

Manchester to Bridlington (extension of Manchester to Hull service)

TPE trailed that service in the summer of 2004 and loaned 2 x 158s from First North Western for the purpose. However, when the 158s had to be returned (when the new Northern franchise started) the service was cut back to Hull again.

I think at least one of the Sunderland services ran via the Durham Coast.
