The Starter FLIRT can decelerate from 160 to 0 in 22 seconds and accelerate in 24 seconds. 40 seconds is enough time for 20 passengers to disembark from each door and another 20 to embark, and you could add another 10 to open the doors and 10 to close the doors.
Many times. I was not claiming that our existing trains have that sort of performance, but that once we have electrified the route that is what is feasible.
