Another site has published the link to the Transdev website announcing fares....and its good news; Full length journeys are £6 single; £9 return, with £9.50 Daytrippers also valid, and period fares also mentioned. Even more good news is that these are *walk on* fares. TPE will have a journey time and reliability advantage for commuters - but even weekend trains are overcrowded, despite "walk on" fares exceeding £20. Overall, I suspect NatEx will suffer - not least because their website is appalling. I asked for day return fares next Saturday and it insisted on giving me outbounds on Saturday night and returns on Sunday night! And with a frequent service, that involves a lot of scrolling back to find that it will only give you fares based on booking there and then, with an admin add on. I've not been to/through Leeds this year, but I would think their "walk on" fare would be around £12DR from Manchester.
