First definetly did use First North Western 158s on TP Express routes between when they took over the TP Express franchisee and when the Northern Rail franchise was formed, as on one occasion I caught a First North Western 158 running a Manchester Piccadilly to Bridlington route and it was the same 158 when I made a return journey.
