vehicle, particularly train glazing, the glazing being fixed multiple glazing, with an openable window, the glazing including at least one substrate intermediate face which includes, in a part of the glazing that is situated under said window, on the one hand, a main sheet of glass and, on the other hand, a main sheet of plastic which is situated in contact between the intermediate face and the main sheet of glass without the main sheet of glass and the main sheet of plastic being in contact with the glazing frame structure. ## Claims ### Claim 1 A lateral glazing for a transport vehicle, said glazing being a fixed multiple glazing, with an openable window, said glazing comprising: an exterior substrate having an exterior face which faces an exterior space, an intermediate face on the opposite side from the exterior face, and a peripheral edge face, an interior substrate having an interior face which faces an interior space, an intermediate face on the opposite side from the interior face, and a peripheral edge face, a glazing frame structure which holds the exterior substrate and the interior substrate together in such a way that the glazing separates said exterior space from said interior space with a glazing cavity situated between the exterior substrate and the interior substrate, said exterior substrate and said interior substrate each comprising, in an upper part, a hole opening onto each face of the substrate and separated from the peripheral edge face of the substrate, the holes in the exterior and interior substrates facing one another so as to allow the openable window to be created, the glazing frame structure further holding the two exterior and interior substrates around the holes, wherein at least one substrate intermediate face which faces the glazing cavity comprises, in a part of the glazing that is situated under said window, on the one hand, a main sheet of glass and, on the other hand, a main sheet of plastic which is situated in contact between the intermediate face and the main sheet of glass without the main sheet of glass and the main sheet of plastic being in contact with said glazing frame structure. ### Claim 2 (depends on 1) The glazing as claimed in claim 1, wherein said main sheet of glass and said main sheet of plastic are set back by at least 2 mm from said glazing frame structure. ### Claim 3 (depends on 1) The glazing as claimed in claim 1, wherein at least one substrate intermediate face which faces the glazing cavity, comprises, in a part of the glazing that is situated above said window, on the one hand, a secondary sheet of glass and, on the other hand, a secondary sheet of plastic which is situated in contact between the intermediate face and the secondary sheet of glass, with the secondary sheet of glass and the secondary sheet of plastic in contact with said glazing frame structure. ### Claim 4 (depends on 3) The glazing as claimed in claim 3, wherein said secondary sheet of plastic and said secondary sheet of glass are also situated on each lateral side of said window. ### Claim 5 (depends on 3) The glazing as claimed in claim 3, wherein said main sheet of plastic and said secondary sheet of plastic are both situated against the intermediate face of the exterior substrate. ### Claim 6 (depends on 1) The glazing as claimed in claim 1, wherein each substrate is made of glass that has undergone a chemical or heat treatment intended to strengthen it. ### Claim 7 (depends on 1) The glazing as claimed in claim 1, wherein said window comprises an exterior glassworks element, an interior glassworks element and a window frame structure holding said exterior glassworks element with said interior glassworks element while creating a window cavity situated between the exterior glassworks element and the interior glassworks element, a face of the exterior glassworks element that faces the window cavity comprising, on the one hand, a sheet of window glass and, on the other hand, a sheet of window plastic which is situated in contact between the exterior glassworks element and the sheet of window glass, with the sheet of window glass and the sheet of window plastic in contact with said window frame structure. ### Claim 8 (depends on 1) The glazing as claimed in claim 1, wherein said glazing frame structure comprises a horizonal crossmember situated beneath said window, said crossmember not being in contact with two lateral frame members of the glazing frame structure. ### Claim 9 (depends on 1) The glazing as claimed in claim 1, wherein said glazing cavity is situated all around said window. ### Claim 10 (depends on 1) The glazing as claimed in claim 1, wherein the glazing has no element protruding outward beyond the exterior face of the exterior substrate. ### Claim 11 (depends on 1) The glazing as claimed in claim 1, wherein the lateral glazing is a train glazing. ### Claim 12 (depends on 2) The glazing as claimed in claim 2, wherein said main sheet of glass and said main sheet of plastic are set back between 2 and 5 mm from said glazing frame structure. ### Claim 13 (depends on 1) The glazing as claimed in claim 1, wherein both substrate intermediate faces that face the glazing cavity comprise, in a part of the glazing that is situated above said window, on the one hand, a secondary sheet of glass and, on the other hand, a secondary sheet of plastic which is situated in contact between the intermediate face and the secondary sheet of glass, with the secondary sheet of glass and the secondary sheet of plastic in contact with said glazing frame structure.
