cars involved in similar derailments (e.g. Piccadilly Circus) have been
scrapped, though with the superior crashworthiness of the 95ts, it's
quite likely that the car(s) concerned will be repaired, probably by an
external contractor.

Superior crashworthiness?? Christ , I'd hate to see what would have happened
to the old stock in a similar situation. I've seen pictures of less damaged
road vehicles in higher speed crashes than that and railway vehicles are
supposed to be stronger! If a car or bus hit a tree at 15mph you wouldn't
expect the whole front to disintegrate but thats exactly what happened to this
northern line carriage!
