Modern Railways has highlighted how, with the loss of some class 170s from TPE, these will no longer work North TransPennine connections via Leeds, but a few will operate on the South TPE route to Cleethorpes.

[Burnside]

Yep. A handful are being sub-leased back from Chiltern for the South route, while the North services the 170's worked will be 185 operated, the units being freed up by TPE sub-leasing 6x156's from Northern for the Manchester Airport to Blackpool route.
