One neat, low techregenerative braking system used in some places is having the stations built slightly higher than the rest of the network. As the train comes into the station, the slope helps it slow down, and then when it leaves the station, the slope helps it accelerate. Never underestimate the energy stored by moving a fully laden train a few centimetres up.
