Edit: Just an announcement of the CBD all door boarding expanding to Carrington Street, with marshals..... Whoopty doo
Wow, you don't say! You're being excessively optimistic mandonov. Hell will freeze over before TfNSW gives way on this one. It wil be the last jurisdiction in Australia to change, if it ever does.
The funny thing about using marshals is that for so many years they went full belt to reduce labour costs by getting rid of conductors. If they're introducing marshals they're heading back to the old costly ways again.
One day I rode a Gong Shuttle bus where the driver's camera display was accidentally shown also on the big screen inside the bus. You could see straight away that the driver's view of the centre door is excellent, so all the earlier safety concerns have been swept away. However, the driver was using the CCTV for the opposite purpose - to see when somebody was trying to board so that he was able to slam the door in their face with split second timing .....
