I thought so. Must be short of space at Longsight!
December times now in RTT. Most Scarborough trains revert to running to/from Victoria, with rather tight turnrounds, which is presumably why two of them terminate at Stalybridge, despite the others not even calling there, as turnrounds at Scarborough are also reduced. A couple also continue to Lime Street.

If you want a 68 via Guide Bridge get it now as the 15.27 x Piccadilly is no more.
It is reported that from December 2022 TPE plans to divert its Liverpool to Scarborough service to Hull thus restoring the historic link that was broken over 30 years ago.

The service pattern for Liverpool/Manchester-Leeds is being consulted on but the final destinations of trains beyond Leeds don't seem to be up for consultation

Not sure how diverting the Liverpool service to Hull would work as the Hull service is currently the slow one via Guide Bridge. Making the Hull service an express service via Victoria would make it impossible to run a clock face Victoria to York service. Although, Piccadilly to Scarborough via Guide Bridge would probably be more popular than Piccadilly to Hull via Guide Bridge.
TPE have publtshed a consultation document for the changes.
The Hull and Scarborough services would just swap routes/timings west of Leeds.
The next question is will they swap Hulls 185s with Scarboroughs 68 + Mk 5 stock?
Personally I hope that these changes will be approved.
Class 802s begin service on the WCML on Sunday with the new timetable change allowing for return of the hourly Scotland services alternating between Glasgow and Edinburgh.
TPE have began Route Refreshing via Warrington Central & Liverpool South Parkway ahead of the May Timetable Change.

Didn’t think TPE were bringing back CLC services just yet
