They are due to be allocated to Hull BG for the Neville Hill blockade once additional investment has been completed at Hull. New siding being created now.
This service is due to go when TRU is completed to be replaced with 2 per hour TPE between Hull and Manchester Pic. It will revert to a Selby to Leeds stopper.
There is also a single daily 155 from Hull to Halifax and back. The 170 may have been covering this diagram as all are based at Hull Botanic Gardens and there are less 155 available from the new timetable. The 3-car 158 NL units are due in future to be allocated to Hull which cover the Halifax...

Trains operate on set diagrams with set traction. Variations as mentioned do happen regularly but traction is set. Train crews cannot only work the traction they are approved. In the case of Northern 155 and 170s almost exclusively work on their set diagrams while 150 and 158 can cover their...
