The one starting at 0556 is scheduled to do three round trips to Scarborough and back (second and third trips at 1156 and 1756 ex Lime Street) but the 0656 terminates at Manchester Victoria on its way back from its third trip.Now that TPE have reloaded the timetable, it would appear that the loco sets will work the diagrams starting at Liverpool at 05:56 and 06:56
Can't see any sign of loco-hauled workings at weekends.
There's been a fair amount of mention (probably, on other threads) of the intention to stop the Liverpool to Scarborough trains at Lea Green and the Liverpool to Newcastle at Newton-le-Willows. That, it seems, is going to be the general routine, but there are exceptions, as follows.
0520 Liverpool to Newcastle stops at both
0556 Liverpool to Scarborough stops at neither
2024 & 2124 Liverpool to Newcastle stop at both
2224 Liverpool to York stops at both
1803, 1853, 2003 and 2100 Newcastle to Liverpool stop at both
The evening trains listed above all run after the Scarborough trains have finished.
The above applies to Monday to Friday services, I haven't checked weekends.
