Worse still, I've been on trains which have sat around for a minute
and a half at Earlsfield. Not long ago, half the trains wouldn't even
have stopped there.

The dynamics of an urban railway are very different to that of running a
transport service in the boondocks. The problem is that SWT are forced
to try and operate like a country railway within the urban section.

What, like every other TOC operating in London?

They should be allowed, like LUL, to run a metro service with 15-20
second stops and simply getting on with it.

I agree entirely - including providing trains with lots more doors, every
5 minutes or less.
