Thanks for that information. Someone told me after I had posted

that they had seen a picture of a Combino with opening windows for
the
driver. I guess it all comes back to money.

When it was proposed to fit a window to each cab of the Variotrams my
first impression was 'what a waste of money'. 2107 was the first
fitted and I had a shift with this tram only a day or so after the
work was completed. Although it was winter it was fantastic, not so
much for the fresh air, but being able to hear what was going on
outside. Earlier the speed of the booster fan delivering air to the
cab had been upped to a roar, it's like sitting under a departing
jumbo, with booster fan on and window open air is exiting the cab
through the window.

Later management directed that the window must be closed each time a
driver changes ends, so it is important to remember to switch on the
cab booster fan to avoid to returning to a 'hot box'
