Some of the fleet maybe. Most are going to Great Western when the
700s are in service.
They'll also be ETCS Level 2 on the Great Western*, meaning all
GN\GWR fleets will have it installed.

The class 365s on the GN are being replaced by ex-Thameslink class
377/5 Electrostars on the conventional KX-Cambs/Peterborough/Kings
Lynn routes, which in turn will be cascaded by class 700s on the
Thameslink route.
The class 700s will work alongside the GN on the new intra
GN-Thameslink services (i.e Cambridge-Brighton).
About half the 365 fleet will remain on the GN alongside the 377/5s. It's
the 317s and 321s that are going.
Saw a 700 on the GN for the first time this evening, north of Finsbury Park.
