I assume they stayed in the same place.  Quoted from the article: 
"Fortunately, the
limping diminished after the driver's foot became acclimated to its new
duties."


There sere slightly similar complaints from the public as operators had to
get used to one man operation when the 800 series cars were introduced on
the Valley Route in Tarentum.

Valley News Dispatch

"The public has complained to the company about cars running behind schedule
due to the change to one man cars."
