Without counting exact quantities, the approximate ratio of 319s to 323s suggests that Manchester Airport shuttles are mainly 319s rather than 323s nowadays. I thought they were just occasional workings.

The Airport to Piccadilly shuttle is one diagram which is now a 319. The 323 that was previously used is now used on a peak time extra from Macclesfield in the morning and a peak time extra to Hazel Grove in the evening so the DMUs stretch further following the TPE 170s going to Chiltern. The Crewe via Airport services are still 323s.
