You can always tell a unit that is struggling to stop or restart as you can normally hear the wheels struggling on the rails .

The 319s (and EMUs in general) are supposed to have far superior acceleration to the 142 and 15xs which is why it should be possible to speed up Liverpool to Wigan stoppers as a result of using 100mph EMUs despite the fact they'll never get to over 75mph on that service.
