After the incident at Copmanthorpe a few years back when a car was hit by a Voyager.
The car disintegrated but the voyager only had the front bogie derailed initially by one 1 wheelset then later on the 2nd wheelset derailed.
I had to measure the overall length of the site immediately after the incident for relay purposes.
A couple of reps from the TOC asked what was the length from the impact point to the front of the train. The distance was about 50m under the full emergency braking distance.
