As already mentioned by PP, the minimum that drivers get is 4 mins.
However, an actual train turn round time can be less than this when
stepping-back is in operation. Eg at Morden, the usual train turn round
time is 2½ minutes. Mind you, when we run the training train, we often do
turn rounds in 1-2 minutes if the signal is clear (and it's actually
changing ends, not double ending) :-)
