The LNER Tyneside electric units were electric multiple units built by Metropolitan-Cammell for the Tyneside Electrics, the suburban system around Newcastle upon Tyne. The London and North Eastern Railway received them from 1937 to replace the North Eastern Railway units built between 1904 and 1915: 64 articulated twin units, each 112 feet 7 inches long, with two luggage vans, and two parcel vans added in 1938. They took current from a 600 volt DC third rail, with two Crompton Parkinson traction motors on the outer bogie of each motor car. Falling passenger numbers and the cost of renewing substation equipment led to their replacement by diesel multiple units, and the last had been withdrawn by 17 June 1967.
