RER in Paris [1], S Bahn in Germany, main line profile cross city lines in Italy (Milan), City Rail in Sydney (has several tunnel sections), Thameslink? I'm excluding Metros and Subways as they are usually not main line profile / capacity. I haven't used Go Transit in Toronto but most main line rail lines on the North American continent are nowhere near as frequent or as intensively used as those in Europe or Asia. New York and Boston might provide exceptions to this. GO Transit, actually -- the first word is (or was) an acronym for "Government of Ontario". According to their website http://www.gotransit.com/public/en/aboutus/whatisgo.aspx, there are 7 lines serving 59 stations and running on 390 km of track. The fleet is 42 trainsets consisting collectively of 70 locomotives and 495 bi-level passenger cars. Each weekday there are 185 train trips with a total ridership of 180,000. However, the main east-west lines, running from Hamilton to Toronto and Toronto to Oshawa, are by far the busiest, accounting for about half the ridership. On those two lines there seems to be about one train per hour for most of the day, and three trains per hour at peak times. I'm not sure how these numbers compare to those of the systems you listed, or to the numbers projected for Crossrail. Anyone?
