I am aware of such forces, but I'm also aware of the build up of the train. It's a very modern train which is designed to withstand crashes, and from looking at the TV footage alone, it is clear that the train is still in a good state. Also, reports from Virgin Trains do suggest that it will be back in service.

How did you determine that, from looking at the TV images, or by closely examining the wreckage at the scene ? Have you any idea of the forces involved with crashing hundreds of tonnes of train, and contents at 90 mph. I take it you're not familiar with Newton's laws of dynamics for starters !
