I found when travelling on them the speed didn’t seem to be consistent, but instead you could feel a 3-5 second burst of acceleration followed by a bit of coasting. I thought it was quite noticeable. Pity as I think these are better laid out from a train crew operating perspective, however I still think catering should be centrally located and not in different parts of the train.
Take the lowest power setting available (4-6%) and the train will accelerate regardless. Shut off and speed will immediately begin to fall. That's why there is the on/off feel to them. They are very powerful trains.
