What would you want of the design of the 92TS? The far too powerfull
traction system.


When acceleration means reduced times between trains, then there's no
such thing as "far too powerful".


Go for a good ride on a train which accelerates and brakes at more than
1.2 m/s^2, then come back and tell us that!

I assume we're not talking about that kind of power, though, in which case
i agree with the sentiment - more acceleration is quicker trips and higher
frequencies, and that's all good.
