Pity they don't speed the trains up somewhat. Last time I got the ELL from
highbury it consisted off:

Wait at highbury for 5 mins.
Trundle at 20mph to Dalston junction.
Wait at Dalston junction for 2 mins.
Trundle at 20mph all the way to canada water.

Is there some rule saying that any decent speed is no longer allowed
on the tube/overground system? The only lines that have a decent turn
of speed these days is the victoria and central , everything else seems
to be semi comatose. Even the piccadilly line which used to fly along
from hammersmith to acton now potters along that section like some old
19th century country branch line in no particular hurry.
