A Tyne & Wear Metro unit?

I have no idea about the classes of them.

Open floor if correct.

That's certainly no Tyne and Wear Metrocar (The windscreens aren't that square, they're more inset from the front and the windscreen wiper is at the top). I've never heard of them having a TOPS classification, even though they run over NR metals between Pelaw and Sunderland.

Yeah I just figured that out. A shot in the dark rather than an educated guess however I may have sussed it...

A Class 458 Juniper?

Open floor is correct.

I think they do have a TOPS classification; I think it is class 994 or something.
