I have noticed that the older Croydon trams, the CR4000s, have external cab doors on the right-hand side at each end but not on the left-hand side.
Are these doors ever used, or were they used in the early days of Tramlink? If they are used, I presume this means that to get from the cab at one end to the other at each terminus the driver can either leave by the external cab door at one end but has to enter the cab at the other end via the passenger saloon or vice versa depending which side the platform is.
Or do the drivers always enter and leave the cab via the passenger saloon at both ends regardless of whether there is a platform adjacent to the external cab door?
