Unlikely to be just hybrids as we have just seen with the Lime Street rail replacements.

Merseyrail tend to stipulate in the contract when arriva get it to use hybrids as thats why on the recent closure of lime street the hunts cross to moorfeilds expresses was operated by hybrids due to them being operated on behalf of merseyrail.

Not a problem , they can end up with Enviro400's sometimes which ive seen due to drivers not being familiarised on the hybrids but 90% time they would be hybrids.
Where as northern rail are not fussy what you use hence why the DLP's and VLW's where being used alongside Enviro400 on the previous hunts cross -lime st all stations and huyton - lime st all stations.

7004 was on the 15 on Thursday - do they often stray?

If they do its mainly to the 15 although has it that are to appear on the 68 on a Sunday.
