We weren't discussing the size of the disabled toilet - we were discussing
the area taken up by the disabled toilet, the seating reserved for
wheelchair passengers and their companions and for bicycle stowage, which is
the entire area between one vestibule and the corridor connection at the end
of the vehicle.

The seating is not "reserved for wheelchair passengers and their
companions". Anyone may sit there, but should be fair to disabled
passengers who can't safely position themselves elsewhere by moving in
the rare event that such a passenger does board.

Assuming the Electrostar layout is the same as the Turbostar, the
space concerned consists of two seats facing two tip-up seats with a
movable table, with two and a bike space on the other side. The
density is not substantially more generous than elsewhere (though it
is slightly). Thus, it is not really fair to say that an entire third
(or quarter, or whatever) is completely given over to that function.
