But with TPX needing units from Northern something has to give .

We'll have to agree to disagree on that one then!

The (temporary) loss of the Class 156s to First TPX is being compensated by the extra six Class 319s which are coming later in the year. Those six 156s will be returning to the next Northern franchisee next year anyway - because the Manchester Airport-Blackpool North route (and others) will be transferring to the Northern franchise from April 2016
