This looks looks like it was converted from a class 501 EMU trailer, I'm guessing that judging by the coupling it was was compatable with 319 EMUs can anyone confirm this ?.

Saw this several times leading class 319s. I think it acted as a deicer / sandite but ran in service trains

This used to be 77109, and was the last survivor of the Tyneside 2EPB-type units. It was converted to work in push-pull with Class 317-322, but generally only worked with 319s on Sandite duties out of St Pancras.

Apparently they had Class 319-style controls inside them - didn't realise until someone told me today...

319 compatiable, so most probably compatiable with most westcode equipped units a novel idea for use of a tynsider, a pity that they were never carried on or kept in traffic.
as always most clever ideas start on the southern !!
