Default speeding by tube or by train

Does actual tube transport in london goes faster than by train
service?

No, the trains run slower


There speaks a man who doesn't use Thameslink very much


True, but I assume TL is only really slow in the Tube-like London Bridge
to SpI section? Away from there, it has 100mph trains, unlike the Tube,
which usually runs at below about 45mph.


Although Luton to St Pancras on a stopper is 45 minutes, for about 33
miles; which is pretty tedious.
