Through the cab door?[edit]

I deleted the bit about passengers entering through the cab door from "The Lakes features very short platforms lengths (able to accommodate only up to two vehicles), which means many passengers have to enter through the cab door" which makes no sense to me; plenty of other doors will be available, so this would need further explanation before reinstating.--Shantavira|^{feed me} 12:29, 20 November 2012 (UTC)[reply]

If a single two-car unit is used, passengers will use normal doors. But if there are two two-car units coupled to form the train, only one will be entirely within the platform. Let's assume that this is the front unit: if the driver is careful to stop as far forward as possible without going beyond the platform end, he might get the forwardmost door of the rear train adjacent to the platform. Trains operating services along this line are typically of Class 150/1: there are gangways within the unit, but not between units, so passengers cannot pass from the rear unit into the front one. Between the cab and the passenger saloon there is a cross-vestibule with four doors: one to the cab, one to the saloon, and two external doors, which are normally for crew use only. Presumably the driver might get the external doors of this vestibule inside the platform length, and so it might be this door which is referred to as the "cab door". --Redrose64 (talk) 15:58, 20 November 2012 (UTC)[reply]
