Old Street to Moorgate on First Capital Connect is timetabled at 5

I've never known it to take longer than perhaps 2 minutes. Yes, it
does tend to be slower than the tube, as it enters Moorgate relatively
slowly, but never 5 minutes.

I've been timing my slightly randomly selected morning peak hours trips
between Old Street and Moorgate. From doors opening at Old Street to
doors opening again I've measured 3m4s, 4m4s and 3m18s.

Please David, I don't think there's any need to sully utl with
something as vulgar as first hand evidence!
