The locos won't really free up any units as the formerly loco operated North Wales - Manchester diagram will be remaining as units.
The extra capacity will come from the fact that 180 class 197 cars are replacing 48 class 158, 70 class 175 cars and 4 cars worth of 150/153 from the Crewe - Chester and Blaneau Ffestiniog routes.
It's a hell of a change from the fleet TFW inherited compared to what it'll end up as....
34 extra trains, 201 extra coaches or 9023 extra seats.
