No, the trains run slower and stop much more often.

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

The stations are on average closer, but the trains rarely stop between
stations.

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.

Ah well, you have the choice of fast trains or stoppers, unlike on
almost all LU routes (and even on the 'fast' Picc and Met sections, the
trains rarely exceed 45mph).

Will S stock trains exceed 45 miles on the surface sections?

I'm sure the A-stock exceeds 45 in those areas.

I think only A stock on the Met ever went at 60mph. Don't know if it
still does. On the Piccadilly, 73 stock is limited to 45mph.
62 stock certainly went to 60 regularly on the outside sections of the
central line.

Does it not still in some parts?

Not by much these days, when I've measured it with a GPS.
