Yeah that used to be an odd set of operations (from what I remember there was timetabled a trolley service on one Blackpool-Buxton that left after 17:00, but I don't know if it ever turned up
), but it was like you say, offering a very different service by the same operator. I think the idea of this was FNW's intercity Man Airport to Blackpool, alongside their local stopping service (which ironically went further), but that Man Airport to Blackpool stopped at a lot of stations (over 15 I think), didn't feel like much of an express until it was taken into TPX who altered stopping patterns.
