So... How much of that was planned and how much was an accident? A multiple-unit trainset - as opposed to a push-pull type with a locomotive - should come to a stop much more quickly than this one did with BIE - brakes-in-emergency. EDIT: what caused such a long braking distance, I wonder.

[@zycklacon9588]

This seems like one of the more older "rakes", I'm not engineer but I do know basics about these trains and to be honest It feels like the Breaking System or actual motors are very weak. It is a train running on electricity right ? These are maybe made for railway standards hence the long break time (despite it being called a metro) OR there is something wrong with the brakes itself, both are bad

According to the 'usual' logic an accident was expected as the untested breaks needed to be tested but not used as normal ones... However it looks like a different type of logic. Perhaps the breaks were working in other incarnations. Who knows? Anyway, it is like starting fire to test fire alarms.
