156s became less common after they started indirectly covering for the lack of TPE 170s. It was Northern's original plan to put the 156s freed up by Chat Moss electrification on to the Mid Cheshire with Allerton to Chester ECS moves replacing Newton Heath to Chester ones but the idea was dropped because the 156s were needed elsewhere.
