Not well at all, hence for many, many years there was always a 'secondman' in the cab.
Yes, but it wasn't as simple as that. The secondman was needed to work the train heat boiler on passenger stock. and I think was needed on unfitted freight too - but stand to be corrected.
EDIT And wasn't he needed for coupling up to stock?
