Default What basic two platform station has the most frequent service?

I'd hazard a guess that Chatham might hit over 12ph at the morning peak.

Up today Friday
12 0700-0800
11 0730-0830
9 0800-0900

If busy NR platforms rarely have much over 12tph, it's a reminder of how
lightly used they are. I doubt that there's a single LU central area
station that has as few as 20tph in the peaks.

Baker Street (Circle) about 12tph on the journey planner (using Great
Portland Street to Edgware Road, "fewest changes" to stop it including
Bakerloo Line).

That's not exactly a basic two-platform station, is it, though?

You could alternatively consider it as the Baker Street to Edgware
Road route. If you want to include the "country" platforms then
someone else might argue you also have to include the Jubilee line
from Finchley Road.


I think that's getting too complicated. To return to the original question,
just consider the tph at, say, Great Portland Street.

I don't
think you can include junctions like that -- the through Met platforms will
also have a lower frequency, as both sets together feed the route towards
Kings Cross.

About 15tph on the main line route. In more recent years the Baker
Street to Aldgate part seems to have had an increase in through Met
trains with a consequential slight decrease of HandC/Circle trains.


Yes, fewer Met services terminate at Baker St these days.
