Think the problem maybe the extra units it would require in Liverpool .

Taking an Emu to Windermere rather Blackpool North may cost more time and more units , it would have to be looked at more closely .

One problem is Liverpool - Blackpool is Northern at this moment , Windermere is provided by TPX so there would have to be a trade off , if the DfT don't combine the franchises .
