In fact the old trams were not so inaccessble as you might think. London trams would carry a large pram or wheelchair on the front platform. It was not unkown for the occupants of said items to remain in situ and in the case of a wheelchairee have a natter with the driver while going along. Crews have been known to lift a non walking person on and off of the car at start and end of the journey. I think Glasgow crews would do the same if men.
