Eversholt have acceleration rates for their multiple units on their website which might be of interest to some people. All figures are in (ms-2)
EMUs
Class 313 (75mph): 0.67
Class 315 (75mph): 0.75
Class 318 (90mph): 0.56
Class 320 (90mph): 0.56
Class 321 (100mph): 0.55
Class 322 (100mph): 0.55
Class 334 (90mph): 0.62
Class 365 (100mph): 0.65
Class 375 (100mph): 0.64
Class 376 (75mph): 0.66
Class 380 (100mph): 0.9 (4 car) 1.0 (3 car)
Class 395 (140mph): 0.74
Class 455 (75mph): 0.58 (only achievable under 25mph)
Class 456 (75mph): 0.98
I think using the above we can also make some educated guesses about other units such as the 319s being no better than 0.56 based on the 318 and 32x figures.
DMUs:
Class 158 (90mph): 0.80
Class 168/170 (100mph): 0.50
Class 185: 0.49
Very surprising in my opinion. The 158s can outperform many EMUs while the 170s can (just) outperform the 185s. If only the 158s didn't have narrow slow to open doors!
DEMUs:
Class 222 (125mph): 0.79
