I think it's exactly the BAe 146 :) One of my favourite planes also - I used to love flying early morning flights with DanAir from the North of England down to London back in the 80s... of course these days I'd just get the train.

I was reading up on the 146 a few months back, idly wondering how much one would cost - I think the reason they're using one here is that they're comparatively cheap on the used market as the number of engines makes them fairly expensive to service, but said number of engines obviously provides redundancy.
