I think the new trains will have lower floors, so standing upright by the
doors will be easier. In any case, would the attendant still need a full
width cab?

Arguably a half-width one would do, but that would add, what, 2 seats
or standing room for 2?

I still remember when there were guards in the saloons (not the
rear cab) on LU Tube trains, and they just put a bar across the carriage
end when they occupied it. They seemed to have no trouble standing.

They of course had the full width to themselves, and it took up almost
as much space as a full cab.
