My daughter is due to arrive at Gatwick at 21:15 on 16th January and has
to
get back to Cambridge. Looking at NRE and expecting a tube strike she
couldn't see how she can get home, even with a choice of buses from
Hitchin
or Bishop's Stortford.

Normally she could get Thameslink to SPILL and walk across to King's Cross
but not at that time of night. She can probably get to London Bridge and
then get a 35 or 47 bus to Liverpool Street (or even walk) in plenty of
time
to get the 23:58 to Bishop's Stortford.

But will her through rail ticket be accepted on the bus if the tube isn't
running?

Suspension of the ASLEF strike seems to have answered your question. However
an alternative would have been to use National Express coach service 797,
leaving Gatwick at 2145. I appreciate that a near four hour journey may not
be attractive (travelling via Heathrow and Stansted) but it would at least
offer a through service, which could be helpful if your daughter has much
luggage with her.
