It provides connections, albeit not wonderful ones, for commuters to Manchester to sort of meet the franchise requirement. The morning one maintains the service between Liverpool and Bank Quay, as it loses one electric.

It would appear from lack of ECS workings there is no Cumbrian loco hauling on Saturdays, unless the set that finishes at Barrow goes out and back.
