555005 is a Class 555 unit built by Stadler in St Margrethen, Switzerland.

Buggy/005 has random paint or chalk splatter streaks on a few of the sliding steps. It's not publicly known when or how this happened and this most likely won't be cleaned off due to their being no manual way to extend and retract the steps by hand as evident when 006 damaged Jesmond platform 2 with it's faulty steps on the 29th of December 2025.
