the Piccadilly Line would be very close to 2 hours long in normal

It's 1hr 25mins.

Chesham to Chigwell is 2 hrs 2 mins (with walking speed set to slow).

Heathrow to Southgate normally takes 1hr 40mn during the afternoon,
midweek. I think 1hr 25mn to Cockfosters must be the "official" time.

WTT says 1 hour 23 mins. These days it's more often right than not.

Last time I did Cambridge-Heathrow by trains I was alarmed to discover
how much more than expected were the King's Cross-Heathrow times. About
1 1/4 hours IIRC.

About 55 minutes actually. Faster via HEx of course.

Definitely over an hour in reality when I last did it. I said I was
surprised.

Chesham to Chigwell is 2 hrs 2 mins (with walking speed set to slow).

For these types of journeys, the waiting time is also important. At a
gated station, you touch in, then wait - at somewhere in the far-flung
reaches of the Tube like Amersham, you could potentially wait 20 minutes
for a train (similarly at Baker Street in the other direction).

I found this to be an issue with the allowed out-of-gate interchange
time - when changing from Bakerloo to Chiltern at Marylebone for a train
to Amersham, you might find that you had 30 minutes to wait for your
train, and could potentially fall foul of the system, as you would only
touch in again when your train is ready for boarding.

Chesham-to-Chigwell would include a wait to change from the Chesham Shuttle
at Chalfont & Latimer, too - apart from the small number of thru trains per
day, at peak times.

Indeed. Also it's often difficult to get an Aldate-Amersham through service
and so you'd be doing all the changing there as well. I presume the on the
move travel time incorporates a through service at Woodford?

Are the gates able to be flexible and match the distance between barriers
with the time between swiping in?
