> The tendency to not keep to a strict timetable and the close-running of metro systems makes it hard to slot express trains into gaps between local trains properly.

To be fair, "close-running" is not a word that tends to be associated with the District line ... "signal failure" is, however ! ;-)

The central section (including the Circle Line) has a service interval of 2-2½ minutes, depending on the time of day.

The rest has roughly 2-10 minute intervals.
