This means that acceleration at speeds above 10 to 15 mph is considerably
enhanced on the modern stock.

Interesting post, thanks for that. Certainly on the central line the
acceleration is pretty impressive but I can't say I find the northern
or jubilee stocks anymore impressive performance wise than the stocks
they replaced. I used to live in finchley and travel on the northern
when the 59 & 72 stocks were still being used and they used to floor
it on the open air section from east finchley to finchley central no
doubt because its well over a mile of almost straight track. When
travelling on the 95 stock though it seemed all rather sedate. Perhaps
its just psychological because theres no screaming motor sounds and
the windows didn't sound like were about to fall out but even so , its
certainly nowhere near as quick as the 92 stock.
