Will Liverpool - Nottingham go over to TPE and Nottingham - Norwich to Greater Anglia?

Liverpool to Nottingham to TPE or Northern, subject to DfT negotiations. It's rumoured TPE have a plan to keep all the 185s and to transfer some mk5s to Liverpool to Nottingham should they get the route (with more 185s on North TPE.) However, I think Northern are being considered because they already serve Nottingham, Sheffield, Manchester and the CLC line to Liverpool.
Nottingham-Norwich staying put.
Thanks for your update here Knutstransport.
In an ideal world there would be some overlap, so for example Liverpool - Peterborough (useful for East Coast connections) and Norwich - Sheffield (onward connections for Yorkshire) but can't that happening unfortunately.

EMT continuing to run the Norwich service to Sheffield could be possibility but I very much doubt TPE or Northern would run all the way to Peterborough.

In view of Northerns current performance there would be a public outrage if LIV-NOT were transferred to them.

In fairness that won't matter one iota to the government if they were to award it to ARN
I dont see why they cant just leave it as it is, Its rare i ever see a Liverpool - Norwich running really late ect
Like most rail routes in the country, this service does struggle capacity wise (especially so when short formed).
