Really the 1996 in limited state was still quicker than a 95 stock. I guess when TBTC is switched on they will be quicker however I think it will have more power at higher speeds and not at lower speeds. Although the 1995 stock has different motors than a 96 and has 4/6 cars motored the Jubilee only has 4/7 motored. I can't recall the exact figures, however I seem to recall the 1995 stock has the most available power of all of the pre-2009 stocks, albeit governed down so not available to use. I believe this takes into account the 1996 stock being extended to 7 cars. |

96TS probably also has more power due to the line speed of the Jubilee being much higher, and since the Northern line's speed is around 30-35 last time I checked...

Line speed on Jubilee was always 60 mph (so no change with TBTC). Northern Line varies depending on section, 35 mph south of Archway / Golders Green, 30 mph on the CX branch, 40 mph GGRN to Edgware also Archway to East Finchley, 45 mph north of East Finchley. Of course 50-60 mph is theoretically attainable on certain sections, but of course not permissible. |

So the 1995 stock unlimited has more power than the likes of the 1992 stock?

What would happen if the driver was caught speeding say if the speed limit is 40mph and he/she was going 45-50mph would this derail a train?

The line speed is more dictated by signal overlap lengths than anything else. Exceeding the speed limit can also lead to greater track wear, though this is more releated to curves & points than plain track. |

95ts is newer than the 96ts and uses a different more advance air cooled traction system.
95ts is heavily limited in acceleration due to the nature of the Northern line (curves) from what I remember.

Also uses IGBT rather than Gate Turn Off inverters hence no 'gear changing sounds'
