In the up direction, Catford gets 2tph, but looking at tomorrow's morning peak, I can see that it gets bumped up to 5tph. Are there any other stations that have over double of their standard services during the peaks?

The Catford loop in general has its service double at peak times, with Crofton Park and Bellingham getting additional Southeastern calls on top of that.

Clacton-on-Sea has 1tph off peak, but 4tph into London in the morning peak.

Paddock Wood, Staplehurst and Headcorn also get a very notable peak surge in the morning, from 2tph to 5tph, however a couple of these skip Pluckley and Marden so these are not as big an uplift. Likewise the Hastings' line gets Cannon St extras that significantly bolster the service, which is particularly notable at Tunbridge Wells and High Brooms, which also have extra Charing X services.

Stations at the south end of the Hertford loop Bowes Park-Gordon Hill go up from 2tph to 6tph.

The Northern City Line goes from 4tph to 10tph.

Amersham has eight southbound trains leaving in the morning peak hours (06:00-06:59, and 07:30-08:30), up from 2 tph to Aldgate and 1-2 tph to Marylebone off-peak.
