Class 158 cab

[Simon Smith]

Anyone know what's on the non-driver's side of a class 158 cab? i.e. the other side of the corridor. Is it an office where the conductor can sit or something? Always wanted to know and can't find any pictures!

I'm not sure, but if you look through one at the end (while standing at a station) that is not coupled, it looks very much like a two-seat cab.

I think it's set up like the driver's side, with a desk and chair, but without the vast majority of the controls. There's a shot of the secondman's side of a 159 here: http://www.dawlishtrains.com/cabs---secong-gen-dmu.html

On ours there’s a switch for the wipers, the OTMR (data recorder) and a CCTV button to be pressed to save the last so many minutes in high detail. There’s also a door release butterfly and some safety equipment.
