AFAIK its all ATO now, so why are there still 3 min service gaps (at least
on the Bank branch) with trains chugging along at what can't be much more
than 20mph? Is there a capacity limit with camden town junction or are there
simply not enough trains for a victoria line 1 min gap service?

Part of the cause of this is that Bank itself is so busy that you
simply can't dispatch a train every minute.

Is Bank any worse than say Victoria or KX on the victoria line? Its certainly
busy but its not exceptionally so IMO.
