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?

6. 2 Thameslink, 2 Met/H&C/Circle Teacup, and 2 Crossrail

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

I would go with Waterloo
Waterloo Main
Waterloo East (trains to and from Charing Cross)
Northern
Bakerloo
Jubilee
W&C

Compared with the southern TOCs, at Waterloo and at Charing Cross, the
terminal platforms at St Pancras (all three parts) and Kings Cross are
practically quiet rural stations. Charing Cross dispatches just about as
many trains in an hour from 6 platforms as Kings Cross and St Pancras
(except LL) combined do from 22 (or is it 23 now?), and Waterloo, with
slightly fewer non-theatre platforms than KXStP, dispatches twice as many.
