I use the Liverpool Street to Clapton stretch quite often in the evening

I lived in Clapton for a year, and can second that - in the peaks, the
trains were absolutely rammed. In fact, the upward trains were packed on
arriving at Clapton, so there must be a lot of traffic from further out,
too.

Perhaps our definition of what loads very well differs?

Perhaps it's more to do with the time of day - the 4 tph in question was
off peak, and i have to admit that the trains were pretty empty outside
the peaks. Probably because the line runs to the city, which is a big
commuting destination, but not much use for anything you might want to do
off peak.
