    York is busy and Scarborough. Norwich is the only one with the lowest number. And Clapham Junction is the highest number of 2,587 trains. London Commuter is 3 trains per minute and 4 trains per minute later in the day. St Pancras is busy enough because we got 3 TOC's running there. You also forgot Milton Keynes Central , Crewe , And Stoke

    I presume this is total train movements through the station limits.
    There's no way over a thousand trains stopping at New Cross in a day, but the North Kent and Kent Mainlines converge just before that station so many services go through the area without stopping

    I looked it up on RTT. New Cross has 370 something platform stops (about 130 of those being terminating and departing LO services, so really 65 trains)

    So this is to show traffic going through new cross station as if you was standing at the platform as railfans do. So there's lots of traffic passing through New Cross (SEML) is not measuring passengers just trains a day going by. also below is a video to show

    So actually Southeastern has 236 Southeastern services that stop in New cross and about 736 Southeastern trains that don't.
    I left the link below for reference

    I got 230 passenger calls and 743 not stopping trains run by SE
    Open the page you linked, change "Service type" to passenger calls only, right click and open page source,
    search for "class="toc">SE"
    Change service type to passes only for the rest
