Does anyone have a list, or is there a list anywhere, of what services are supposed to be operated by more than one unit on First Transpennine Express.

I'm mainly concerned with the North Transpennine route on weekdays.

The 1550 Scarborough to Liverpool used to be booked for a pair of 185s, don't know whether this is still the case though.

Yep, it is still booked 2x185, as is the 1653 York - Manchester and 1635 Hull - Manchester. 1641 Manchester - Hull is booked 3x170 and think 1450 Scarborough - Liverpool is 2 x 185

I think the 0913ish from Leeds to Scarborough is supposed to be 2x185, as the announcements said 'please board the front train only for Seamer and Scarborough' as if the rear one is detached at York. As it was on the occasion I caught it only 1 185 was provided.
