Theres been strong rumours that Northern might be getting Class 180 DMUs to operate on Victoria - Blackpools. If true it would certainly give TPX a run for their money as the 180's are of a good Intercity standard. I suspect it would probably be used on one of the busy peak hour runs.
I think one of the reasons Victoria's won the Blackpool trains is due to the Piccadilly - Euston Pendolinos going 3 trains p/h from December and they can't have Sprinters clogging up Piccadilly's throat even further. Mind you if it means more reliable services for Buxton & Blackpool passengers then the change will be worthwhile.
