I believe that pre-ATO the 1996 stock (and Northern 1995s) were
restricted to 60-70% power - now that ATO is in operation have they
been let off their leashes? It was difficult to notice any significant
acceleration/braking difference.

You are correct.

Have they done it on the northern yet? Last time I rode on it up to finchley
I was wondering if it was going to even make it up the slope from highgate.
If the braking is up to the job then why don't they just let them run on
full power?
