Wouldn't be convinced on that one personally, don't think there's any wires on that line is there? I can't imagine the multi mode units being that powerful on Diesel vs the Class 170's either and batteries are probably a long time away for on there so would be a negative. The Class 170's are ideal on there imo. 

I believe York to Blackpool is one of the lines which is getting some of the trains in that neck of the woods, which is where some of the Class 195's will be released from.

It's the same every Saturday tbh, made worse yesterday by cancellations aswell. Today has been grim aswell, with cancellations all over the place again.
