Will the through services be lost to a stub service terminating at Oxenholme and Lancaster respectively .

I think a 3-car shuttle is most likely.

Long term, with TPE/Northern probably being merged, I suspect a Class 153, maybe 156 in summer, will be used.

Even longer term, in the distant future, probably electrification.
