It may be that it would take too long to link them at Manchester Piccadilly at peak times. But they are wasting diesel in not disconnecting them. Most trains don't need to have all the carriages open, but some of the busy trains during the off-peak period ideally do need them. They are no so full meaning passengers are unable to get on but passengers are having to stand up.
