Fair enough, I see your point - and yes, I suppose the Victoria line
can be a bit jerky. Perhaps the new stock on the upgraded line will
manage to do the job in a smoother manner, without sacrificing the
speed.


That seems perfectly possible - they could lower the rate of change of
deceleration, without significantly sacrificing the magnitude of the
deceleration.


Hmm the flagon with the dragon holds the brew that is true, and the
