Derailed trains
"Boltar" wrote in message om... Robin May wrote in message ... 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. It's entirely sensible for trains to crumple on impact, to absorb some of the force of the collision. |
