Northern Rail have run trains connected togther but without a corridor connector with a guard/conductor in one part only. Like for the service I mentioned above. The train was a St-Annes-On-Sea to Greenbank, so it's possible there were two conductors on the train north of Manchester Piccadilly, but may have only been one available when they changed round and possibly at that point too many passengers to fir in one portion.

When that's happened though the conductor's always been in the other part from the driver.
