The bulkhead window is required to allow passengers to see the passenger information screen integrated into the car end wall above the foamer window. That screen is (IIRC) an LCD, and will be viewed from a large enough angle by passengers throughout the car that a polarized window (as on the NTTs) in the bulkhead would render it completely useless. It's bad enough standees will lose their view of the train's destination with the crew lounge bulkhead, but polarized glass would deny the view to everyone except those directly in line with where the polarization permitted light to pass. |
