Isn't the busiest main line the GEML into Liverpool St?

Not sure but I doubt it.

It's certainly the busiest in terms of passenger numbers (38m using
Euston vs 58m at Liverpool St). Both are higher than the other main
line termini: Kings Cross, Paddington and St Pancras.

If we filter on trains passing through Stratford [so excluding WA,
Chingford etc] and Watford Junction on their way to the respective
stations, in the hour from 8am, it's 35 to Liverpool St and 11 to
Euston.

Recliner has already reminded us we're not just talking about passengers,
with the WCML being the busiest mixed-traffic railway in Europe, supposedly.
Since the discussion is about freight on the NLL we might have thought you'd
have remembered that.
