ReplyDeleteWhen the door operator used to be up there it allowed for him to see better.
ReplyDeleteThe same reason some of the chair have mis-matching upholstery.

ReplyDeleteProbably because of some crash modelling showing a need for something to divide up the open carriage to prevent objects from becoming projectiles.
ReplyDeleteMost of the older cars have(had) the lower height headrests. As they get refurbished, they get new seating with high headrests. However, some have that upper sliding window area at one end like in the photo, so that area often gets shorter headrests, presumably to give the CSA more room if they have to operate from up there.
ReplyDeleteThe upper sliding windows have been eliminated on new orders for a while now (control area always downstairs), and all the new cars come with high headrests.
