What's this?

Is a JB under floorboards considered accessible? and finally is there any difference with a box in terms of accessibility with a modern wago box being hidden away ?

No, that is not classed as accessible. Would need an MF junction box.

It is up to the opinion of the individual and the circumstances but generally no it would not be considered accessable.

The real pros twisted the earths to the rear of the JB in a neat twist with pliers and nipped off any excess...

that one looks carp

Definitely looks fishy.

I agree it’s not accessible anymore than a bath panel that needs a tool to remove......I think “Chris” classes them as accessible in one of his videos....so as @davesparks says matter of opinion...

Further to my original post, this junction box has 10 cables/wires going into/coming out of it. Is that normal for such a box?

No it's not. It has probably been added to over the years. Would be better if it was replaced with a modern multi way equivalent. Either with strain relief or with the cables clipped securely.
