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

That seems perfectly possible - they could lower the rate of change of
deceleration, without significantly sacrificing the magnitude of the
deceleration.
You beat me to it! The rate of change of acceleration [1] is known as
'jerk rate',
[1] The fourth derivative of position with respect to time - fourth!
Third, surely?
