The 802s currently switch modes at Victoria when bound for Lime Street (saw one do it the other day) so presumably will also to/from the airport.No.
Only 2 TPEs an hour, all currently 185s.
There will be bi-mode 802s hourly in due course.

802s already run 3 out of 7 of the Manchester Airport to Newcastle diagrams on a good day.
Hello there are there any booked emu services using the Victoria to Oxford Rd section of line
https://www.realtimetrains.co.uk/train/Y27138/2020-01-14/detailed
Tuesday to Friday of this week there is a booked ECS working, 5P40 0545 Oxford Road to Victoria, via the chord. This is the stock off the previous night's 2A98, 2229 ex-Liverpool (Chat Moss stopper), which should be a 319, and which normally continues to the Airport but this week is being terminated at Oxford Road (P3 - since P5 should be occupied by the last CLC stopper). There is a subsequent shunt move to P5 then the unit is scheduled to stay there overnight.
The Piccadilly to Airport section of the service is being replaced by 2T98, 2332 Piccadilly - Airport, departing P12. The Oxford Road to Piccadilly section will be unserved and anyone wanting to travel over that section will need to wait for the following ex-Blackpool service.
After 5P40 the unit is booked to do 0605 Victoria - Preston, which normally uses a unit which has stabled overnight at the Reversing Siding.
This sort of thong has happened before but has more often involved a unit terminating at Oxford Road ex-Wilmslow. For a time the last ex-Wilmslow actually continued to Victoria in service, via the chord, and the first return journey the next morning did the same. This arrangement didn't last all that long, and I can't give the actual dates.
