The tram-trains for Huddersfield-Sheffield are going to be diesel operation only. If they want to try dual powered vehicles then joining the Manchester Metrolink line at Altrincham is probably the best route and then if the East Lancs to Bury needs a regular passenger service that would be another possibility.
