Are you stupid? A train is several times longer than a car or bus
and even more times heavier.
No **** sherlock. And consequently they should be built a damn
site stronger than road vehicles. Obviously this is not the case,
at least not for tube trains. If any vehicle crumples up at such a
low speed it doesn't say a lot thats good about the design.
Perhaps they should have used the same team who designed the
mainline mk3, probably one of the safest vehicles on wheels.
I think it did pretty well considering it had God knows how many tons
travelling at 15mph forcing it in to the wall.
