I have drawings (used to be called blueprints) of both the Citadis and
Combinos on order for Melbourne. They look almost identical to the
Montpelier Citadises and the various Combinos now being delivered. 

The driver's position is right in the middle of the cab (they have cabs
like the Ws, all the doors are along the sides, they do not have
front-entrances likes the Zs, As and Bs.

There is not enough detail to show where the controls are. These models
are hand-controlled are they not? It really shouldn't cause a problem.
