One of the catagories means the driver can't see all the way down the platform, so if the CCTV cameras are broken they must get a station assistant to despatch all trains, or the platform must be closed until the CCTV can be repaired. The other catagory can still be worked if there is a CCTV failure, but I think they might have open the cab door and look out - I'm not sure, someone else can probarbly elucidate further. Which type is which evades me at present.

Category A platforms are platforms that are either curved, regularly crowded, lacking in platform-side OPO equipment, full of furniture that obscures the view of the platform, or on the off-side of the train. At these stations, if the OPO equipment fails then the driver is effectively 'sat down' until station staff can give him/her the RA.
Category B platforms have none of the above caveats, and at these stations the driver can simply stick his head out of the window.

I've had a reshuffle, which has made the above links useless. The pics in question are below, for reference:
