Default Dangers of High Speed Trains Pushed from the Rear
On Wed, 10 Nov 2004 21:08:02 -0000 someone who may be "Tim
Christian" wrote this:-

Braking and power control not withstanding, a heavy weight at the rear of a
train is not good news when it has to stop in a hurry,

The "heavy weight" is equivalent to two or three coaches. Nobody
worries about the effect in a crash if two or three coaches are
added to a train.

prevents me by using the RIP Act 2000.
