Could TPE route electrification be delayed and if so could we see battery trains?

88s don't have the power to cope on diesel, as has been stated many times in previous threads.
What about 93s? I'm guessing they would struggle to cope with Manchester-Cleethorpes (diesel almost all the way) but Liverpool-Scarborough with the TPE core wired...

I knew they wern't equally as capable as pure electric but I didn't think they were that bad and incapable of running between Huddersfield & Stalybridge and between York and Scarborough if the rest was electrified.

Perhaps a new class of more powerful bi-mode could be constructed ?
