How much time does that save over running in service?
12.5 minutes.

What if they ran back in service, but nonstop?

I suspect the number of passengers wanting to go end-to-end contra-peak
is tiny compared with the confusion caused by having just two or three
non-stop services in an otherwise clockface timetable.

At any time of day, I am not really clear why anyone getting on at
Moorgate wants all stations

?

Why wouldn't they? A stopping train is what you want for local journeys,
which, if anything, will be more prevalent outside the peaks, when all
those long-distance commuters are safely locked up at work.
