All irrelevant. "Tube style" implies "metro style", and was a
generalisation across the city's network and across time periods.

I was trying to point out that these are all outer London areas just
like anywhere on the lines previously mentioned, so six trains per hour
is enough - not a start. I doubt much of South East London could sustain
a full offpeak service every few minutes as exists on some LU lines.

I did say New Cross *and* New Cross Gate... otherwise I think you'd get
a much better frequency by walking!
