IMO the Thameslink equivalent on the ELL is the Great Northern into Moorgate
and that only goes as far north as Stevenage. All the peterborough trains
AFAIK
are fast trains that stop at very few stations.

The only stations between Bedford and Leicester are Wellingborough,
Kettering and Market Harborough.

And those stations will attract everyone from surrounding villages and towns.

More than the current faster EMT services to London?

Plus its twive the distance of london - stevenage so plenty of scope for
the timekeeping to go pear shaped.

Stevenage is a red herring. The Thameslink services via the ECML will go
as far as Peterborough and Cambridge.
