Details of the timetables from May onwards can now be obtained on the Real Time Trains website albeit not in proper timetable format.
An interesting one I noticed is on Monday to Fridays there is a Adwick - Sheffield - New Mills - Manchester Piccadilly working and two such workings on Saturdays, I assume this is to transfer 142s and 150s between Sheffield and Manchester.
There are no similar trips eastbound or changes to the times of the Sheffield to Manchester locals suggesting trips will all still be Manchester run with presumably crew changes in Sheffield for the above.

You'd think so, but no. All three diagrams are booked to be Heaton units and make their way back to Sheffield.
Crews indeed are as previous with a change at Sheffield. The Doncaster crew will not be taking the train through to Manchester.
Another interesting one is 2F80 which is the previous empty coaching stock move to Scunthorpe at 05.29 which became a service train at Scunthorpe for Cleethorpes. Very much one of its kind.

The Saturday arrangement is also an interesting one although doesn't look the most efficient (I think a 153 stays at Cleethorpes all day and gets brought back by the last Northern run to Sheffield).
Looking at the new timetables it appears that the odd dwell times on the Sheffield - York (Moorthorpe & Pontefract) and Sheffield - Brigg - Cleethorpes (Various) services still remain.
