Default Sparking on the rails

Snow had collected on the conductor rails on the piccadilly line this
morning (presumably Tubelines were still asleep since arn't they
supposed to clear them?). Anyway , the shoes were sparking nicely and
the lights and other systems were going on and off. Does constant on/
off of the juice do the train systems any harm in the same way
constantly flicking a PC on/off would eventually kill it? Am I right
in suspecting this will probably affect the newer trains with
electronic control systems more than the old electro mechanical ones?
