720 at Longsight - (answered - 720534)

I was going past Longsight on Monday and saw 08887 shunting what looked to be a driving car of one of the Stadler Flirts (edit: it's been pointed out below that it's an Aventra, not a Flirt). I couldn't see it well enough to know whether it was TFW or one of the earlier classes and wondered if anyone knows what it is and what it's there fire. Pictures attached, but bad phone pictures.

Thanks in advance!

Edit2: answered thank you

That looks like the driving car of a Greater Anglia Class 720. I don't know why it would be at Longsight, though.

Its a 720 car - Not a Flirt.

You're right! Thanks. Same question otherwise though... Anyone know what, and what it's doing there?

There was reports of a 720 carriage on the move by road in the Manchester area on Thursday, possibly this?
