The one problem is that with Diesel the acceleration and deceleration times are quite long. This is where the electrification of the lines will help significantly.

With an express train that makes only a few stops, the difference in acceleration becomes less of an issue. And braking capability should not be much different anyway regardless whether the train is powered by diesel fuel or a catenary.
