Deceleration of the class 350

[DanlovesLNER]

Do anyone know the deceleration of the class 350 when applying full service braking?

also write the deceleration of other multiple units (if possible)

I'd imagine it'll depend a lot on the gradient, weather conditions (rain, snow, ice etc) and so on

Siemens quote a full service braking rate of 1.1m/s/s and 1.3m/s/s in emergency.

Full service braking for MUs (inc 350) should be 9%g

Full service braking for MUs (inc 350) should be 9%g

Many are higher. 9%g is simply the minimum requirement for the W125 curve. (Tread braked units such as Sprinters achieve average 7%g.)
