That should have read 30 second waits at every station.

30 seconds is the standard station allowance - i.e. the length of time
each stop should take, wheels stop to wheels roll.
If the waits at every station were 30 seconds with the doors unlocked,
it sounds like they're using 1 minute stations tops, which is probably
to give a consistent timetable all day - 1 minute stops will be needed
at busier times of day but not at quieter times, so to give the
"clock-face" timetable of trains leaving at the same minutes past each
hour, the longer stops are used all day.

I've had a nose at the NESA (Sectional Appendix) pages for the Anglia
section of the ELL, and your comment about the speed won't have been
far wrong - much of the line (at least between Highbury & New Cross
Gate) is 25 or 30mph, with some stretches of 40. A bit of a stagger!
