It's really the commuter flows between Preston/Wigan and Manchester that are causing those services to be at the top of the list. One of the aims of TPE services running via Wigan was to get Wigan passengers to use TPE services so they'd leave more space on Southport-Airport services for Bolton passengers - that worked but they forgot how small the 350s are compared to the amount of demand.
