That's kind of the point though. Even with few stations and very
aggressive acceleration, the average journey time on the Victoria is
mediocre, so I can only conclude the cruising speed is not as high as
it seems.

Could the figures be distorted by the Victoria Line not extending
outside Zone 4?

All other things being equal, I would expect the average speed of a
train in Zone 1to be slower than that of a train in Zone 6. To some
extent this should be balanced by the Victoria Line having less
stations than a typical line in Zone 1, anyway, but comparisons of
average speed within zone 1 would be more valid.
