Indeed it's a bit narrow for the typical German railfan suffering on
adipositas


Go to your university library, and you'll find tables with the average
body dimensions of modern humans. Look up the average shoulder width of
European males.
If the seats are narrower than that, simple math tells you, that they
can't work - regardless of waist size.

Knowledge in math for 7-year-olds isn't asked too much.



- and you can't open the window to lean out.


Please explain. Why do you want such windows in an air-conditioned train?



That's why regional trains in Germany at any case have to look lioke this:

in the last and in the next five decades.


Maybe for you.

For me, this here

is the minimum standard. Better solutions welcome.
