There is apparently a desired technique to use (2 Step Braking, 3 Step Relaxing) but it's difficult to judge an accurate method to apply to all stations as the gradients vary on the approach to most stations (especially on Oimachi line.. very tricky).
I tend to aim for around the following speeds at these distances, mostly using B5 to get down from the highest speeds and dropping down as I get closer or if I am slowing too quickly.
400m - 90kmph
250m - 70kmph
150m - 50kmph
75m - 30kmph
50m - 20kmph
20m - 10kmph
My scores for stopping distance are usually very good, and I find its better to concentrate on slowing/stopping accurately rather than just being ontime as you can get better scores for safety and ride comfort as well - the scoring for time in Densha mode also seems more strict than it is in TS mode.
I think it's best to try and avoid using B7 as I think it can affect your safety score. In the Hard Train Simulator stages you also need to be in a low braking gear when you are coming to a complete stop else you will get penalties.
Still trying to master this, it'stricky to say the least. I'm not sure how successful this version is at the moment, it's certainly not as good as some of the features in Densha Final.
There are now screens translations up which might be of use to people.
