I am guessing, although not 100% sure, that the last timetable re-cast has seen the Middlesbrough - Whitby trains run on to and off other services now, rather than seemingly operate as stand-alone services like they often did in the past.
As an example, the ex-Whitby arr Middlesbrough 1330, now appears to form the the 1335 to Hexham.
The arrival in to Middlesbrough at 1355 forms the 1400 to Whitby (appreciate timings may be slightly out, used approximation).
Obviously this helps if you want to get or avoid certain stock.
I've never noticed this before, but happy to stand corrected that it has been like this for a longer period than I thought.
I forgot to mention Northern were mentioned on Look North last week regarding the withdrawal of the pacers and how this may not be done as they have no replacements on order or sourced yet, it was also mentioned it would be illegal per new legislation coming into place for them to operate come 2020.
Having had a bit of think, unsure if they'll be available once the Azumas all enter service for LNER but what about shorter units of Class 43's or have the Class 43's on Cross Country with Voyagers moving over onto Northern Rail Services.

I'd had my suspicions for a few weeks, but having seen it a short while back - can confirm.
There's at least one 158 operating on the Saltburn line.
Next departure from Saltburn.
Didnt get id as saw it from afar, but it has some sort of vinyl wrap.
Edit: it's 158860
