London Overground train design

The Tyne and Wear Metro uses traditional 2+2 seating but is expected to change to longitudinal as the ageing fleet is finally replaced over coming years.

Weird question but --

Does anyone know if there are trains with a similar layout to London Overground - ie seats along both sides of the train facing each other - in other parts of the UK? And if so, where?

Thanks.

Are you asking for trains with only longitudinal seats, or trains that include a mixture of seating types?


And if you mean the latter, do you include tip-up seats?

Just longitudinal seats would be perfect, but I'm interested in a mixture too. The tip up ones perhaps but they tend to be only a few seats and what I'm looking for is the ability for people to sit opposite each other and next to each other with seats between them and not squashed together. If that makes sense..?
