One of the major reasons for Thameslink being so
successful is that passengers on the Midland Main
Line have a single change to get to the South Coast.

No, 95% of Thameslink journeys start or end in Zone 1. The reason Thameslink
is "successful" is because it doesn't have enough seats per hour to meet the
demand created by calling at up to five Zone 1 stations. Its demand does not
come close to the Central and Piccadilly Lines, which serve a dozen Zone 1
stations each.

That's why my vehicle's the Piccadilly Line -
It's the size of a county and it comes every two and a half minutes
