The most up to date info is in the draft London and South East RUS -
which
amongst other info about the ECML and Kings Cross services gives the
Thameslink GN side as 8 tph, of which:

2 tph 12 car Peterborough
2 tph 12 car Cambridge
4 tph 8 car Welwyn GC

all from 2018

To where will the Northern City trains run, post Thameslink.


10 of 12 tph will be from the Hertford Loop:

"Following completion of the Thameslink
Programme it is likely that the current peak
service into Moorgate will remain 12 trains per
hour as today. However, several of the existing
Welwyn Garden City to Moorgate/London
King's Cross services are anticipated as being
re-routed through the Thameslink core. Capacity
is therefore freed up on the branch, enabling a
frequency increase to 10 trains per hour on the
Hertford Loop."
