You will only ever see NLL & WLL frequency increasing incrementally, up

to mean better than 4 tph, which is when it is considered (by many) that

don't need to worry about the timetable.

Aren't they planning to eventually send the goods trains over a different
route?

Some may, but the line is really the only sensible way stuff like
construction aggregates can get from west to east for London's own
requirements, its not all just passing through...
