Default Derailed trains

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.
