Default Farringdon to be London's busiest station

They seem to be talking numbers of trains, in which case I'd expect London
Bridge (Southeastern to/from Charing Cross and Cannon Street, Thameslink,
Southern terminating, Northern, and Jubilee) to be significantly busier, and
I suspect others will be even busier.


How many platforms is Farringdon going to have when the works are
complete?

That's what I was expecting, but it doesn't seem many to handle that
number of trains.

The 140 tph is the peak service. 24 tph each way on each line - actually,
the Met etc is already at around 27 tph, and is planned for 32 tph (16 Met,
8 H&C and 8 Circle Teacup) with the S stock and new signalling, So if the
aspirations for 24 tph on both Thameslink and Crossrail come about,
Farringdon could have 160 tph on 6 platforms.

Does anyong have the numbers for Clapham Junction?

Also, one would imagine the numbers for the KX St. P complex must be
very high.

If we're adding together NR and LU services at the same station then
how about Euston or Kings Cross St Pancras ?

Also, one would imagine the numbers for the KX St. P complex must be
very high.

Or, Waterloo even! Although I think KX StP probably takes the prize:
St P International
HS1 Suburban
Thameslink
MML
KX Mainline
KX Suburban
Circle
H&C
Metropolitan
Northern
Picadilly
Victoria
