Which LU lines have trains with the most and least "oomph" for want of a
technical expression (power-to-weight ratio?).

I haven't travelled on the Central Line recently, but supposedly with
Automatic Train Operation, the trains' acceleration is improved compared
with non-ATO operation. The Jubiliee line with their 1995 stock trains is in
my experience the quickest away from stops. Paris and Lille have very quick
metro trains and I believe they achieve acceleration rates up to 1.4 metres
per second per second so you really do have to hold on!
