Just noticed that it looks like this is missing a Manchester Victoria stopper or will all stations be covered by the Manchester Airport/Crewe service. I am presuming that TPE will be stopping at a few key stations with the diverted Scarborough service.
The 0614 from Broad Green to Lime Sreet (ex St Helens Central) was yesterday morning 156444 of Heaton Depot. This unit is now in the new livery and has PIS fitted. The lady speaking on the PIS has a Geordie accent!
319431 has arrived at Allerton Depot. It was hauled in by 47812.
It is in the new Northern livery.
The 1255 service from LIV to MCO is usually booked as 2xclass 142. When I travelled on that service a couple of weeks ago it was booked as 2xclass 150.
Does that mean that the pacers start to retire?

No,not yet because something is meant to be 2x142s doesn't mean it will be

Indeed, especially following disruption or a unit failure. Northern also swap diagrams around when special events are on and sometimes they don't use the booked type of traction for no obvious reason.

There's at least another 12-18 months before the Pacers will start being retired

(N.B. when DfT say vehicle they mean carriage not train.)
Obviously that might change if new/cascaded trains arrive late.
