The driver looks out of the left side window (or the right from
outside).

Aaah, that makes sense. I'd assumed his window was in the middle!

It looks to me like the centre cab door is opaque, so the monitors in
front of it aren't obscuring anything, and the monitor on the left of
the picture is against the side wall. There's a tiny window to the left
of it for seeing stopping marks and such. Pretty much the same view as
in other trains with cab-end doors.

Can the driver, or anyone else, see out of the right-hand window? Or is
that opaque too?

If people want to use the door, what happens to the monitors? Do they fold
out of the way or something?
