G'day BW,
I am at me occasional haunt, the local library, freebie www.
I have snavelled the Wikileaks Moorgate article and will peruse such at home.
Also grabbed the official incident report from UK railwaysarchive mob.
The Chicago metro attempted to do a similar end of line collision.
The CTV footage shows the lead emu car attempting to mount the escalators.
According to the NTSB incident report the motorman (female version) went to sleep only awakening when the train slammed through the turnout into the deadend.
QR Citytrain also had a buffer stop snot at Cleveland suburb of Brissy.
So, it does seem to occur occasionally.
Steve.
