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!

The Central Line's trains are the only ones on the Underground with all
axles motored.
