Does actual tube transport in london goes faster than by train
service?

No, the trains run slower

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

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).
