Busiest Stretch of line

I suspect Tower Hill to Gloucester Road, on the
District and Circle Line of LUL, is even busier.

[crossposted to utl]

I doubt that this is the busiest part of the tube, because it
has flat junctions at both ends.

For new readers, the original question was "what would you say was the
busiest strech of line (ie: Most Trains Per Hour) in GB?"

The peak frequency on the District/Circle lines is 4 trains every 8.5
minutes, i.e. about 28 tph per track. IIRC the Central line has 30 or
more tph in the peaks.

If "stretch of line" includes multiple-tracked sections, then (as
previous posters on uk.railway have said) the approaches to London
Bridge or Waterloo are contenders, but can anyone quote tph figures for
the peaks there?

The Northern Line has a 30tph service between Kennington and Morden during
the peak hours (a train every 2 minutes).
