It makes perfect sense to capitalise on the International part. FCC
Thameslink will ultimately run a service that takes in Gatwick
Airport, St Pancras Eurostar and Luton Airport - as well as very
good connections through central London (many people still not even
considering it as a good way to get from north London to south
London in a few minutes, instead of - most likely - going around the
Circle line or going through central London on busy lines like the
Piccadilly Line or Victoria Line).

The service frequency from King's Cross to Blackfriars makes it
almost as good as any other tube line, but I bet loads of people never
consider it (and not having it on the tube map probably doesn't
help!).

Have you tried it and found how slow it is across London? From Brighton
to Cambridge it manages to be quicker to use Southern and the Victoria
Line to the Cross.
