If there were windows in the cab door the cranks will be queuing to video the view and post it on YouTube within minutes.
Oh definitely
I don't understand all this talk about people wanting to see out the front of a train. Im sure they exist - but the view to the side is far more colourful and varied. I have to glance sideways occasionally (only when safe of course!) to invigorate my senses with colour and a change of scenary. I suppose it is interesting to see the view out the front, say, when approaching a busy terminus station - but that's the exception.
For me it's being able to see things such as signals, junctions and stations from a "informed" perspective, although that is purely from a neds perspective, most passengers would find far more in the sideways view.
