Default speeding by tube or by train

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

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

and stop much more often.


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).
