There is a solution to the bouncing pantograph problem - multiple-unit operation!  While one pan bounces, the other is likely to be still on the wire, and the lights stay on.  Shouldn't cost more than a couple of billion to retrofit MU gear to the whole fleet.
 
The first time I saw ever saw a Faiveley pantograph was in Melbourne at Flinders Street railway station.  I think the Victorian Railway had one fitted on a Parcel Van.  Anyone remember that?
