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.

After spending several years on both the Northern and the Central lines
working on the trains, I know what a train accelerating and decelerating
feels like, both in normal and emergency means. I don't alter my
opinion that you cannot have to much power "acceleration".
