Just out of interest, does anyone know if these new stocks get superior
performance from the same amount of electricity or are they just sucking
up more of the stuff?

It rather depends how you count the introduction of regenerative braking,
surely?

I was assuming without. The effectiveness of regenerative braking varies
anyway , plus I don't understand how it can work well on the tube with all the
seperate sections of traction supply the lines have. Surely it will only
work if theres another train fairly close by?
