My apologies. I was thinking of the post-TLnK plan, where there should be
24 tph through the core, but only 6 tph suburban trains.

Where'd you get that from?

Not authoritative, of course.

The various sample timetables floating around are pretty vague, but they
all seem to imply minimal changes to the existing routes, with
everything else added around them.

Right - and all the added services are long-distance ones which are very
unlikely to call at Kentish Town, and won't go anyhwere near Elephant.

"the service frequency from King's Cross to Blackfriars makes it almost
as good as any other tube line" is also shown to be an outrageous lie -
8 tph is barely a turn-up-and-go frequency, and not what i call tube
frequency.

The Circle Line, the only other direct service, has a frequency of 7
tph.

If you actually want to go from KX to Blackfriars, then i would certainly
agree that Thameslink is probably your best bet. However, if you want to
go from somewhere-north-of-KX to somewhere-south-of-Blackfriars, it
probably isn't part of your route of choice.
