Hundreds of thousands? A TGV holds 500 people, so you're saying a successful TGV line does... 400 trips a day?

The Tokaido Shinkansen in Japan carried 452,000 passengers per day on 365 daily services in 2016.
Sure. Gare du Nord handles thousands of train movements per day. Shinjuku Station is even busier.

I raise https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hamburg_Hauptbahnhof as 'also ran' with an average of 550,000 passengers a day.
