Note a number of trains are booked in the low platforms presumably to accommodate the extra Virgin servuces. I assume they will use the new Crown Street Junction, although the departures are shown FL from Lime St, physically impossible
This franchise has been awarded to Abellio as of August.
On request of the DfT, EMT are to replace it's HST sets with Class 180s from May 2020.
How will 14 X 5 car adelantes replace 15 X 6/8 car Hosts without reducing the capacity on routes? Are there other trains on order?

I serious had to double take that announcement , these Class 180's are seriously the worst sets going , they are notorious for suffering bad failures for there present operators
Which is why Hull Trains is having so many problems with 180s.
