The fact that the trains will only be 7.5 mins apart doesn't exactly shout
high
frequency at me. High frequency for a metro is a train every 1 or 2
minutes.
TfL seem to want to pretend that the overground is a metro system yet run
it like a slightly uprated suburban line which isn't quite what was
promised when the ELL was taken away from LU.

I don't believe TfL ever promised anything of the sort, and most definitely
not what you describe. 8 tph max end to end in the peaks (on the NLL) is
actually an improvement over the original proposed timetable - which would
only have had 6 tph west of Camden Rd, with 2 tph from Stratford terminating
there.

Likewise the ELL service has never been described as anything higher than
'up to' 18 tph in the peak on the core section, and 8 tph between Highbury
and Dalston Jn.
