Where does Waterloo come in terms of how effectively the platform space is used?

In the busiest hour (8 to 9) Charing Cross turns 29 trains on six platforms, and Fenchurch Street turns 20 trains on four platforms. So five tph per platform is about the most possible. Of course longer distance trains need more time to turn.

Excluding Eurostar, Waterloo turns about 55 trains on nineteen platforms; call it three tph per platform, which should be plenty. When Eurostar moves to St. Pancras there will be five more available platforms, which should be more than enough.
