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?


Yes - that aspect is fairly standard on gangway fitted EMUs. The Electrostar
cabs have a fair amount of kit that gets repositioned (towards the drivers
seat) when the gangway between units is in use IIRC.
