Which part are you looking at? The list under "service pattern"
includes:

# Bedford - London Bridge - Brighton (4tph)
# Luton - Elephant & Castle - Sutton, Wimbledon (4tph)
clockwise via Sutton then Wimbledon (2tph)
anticlockwise via Wimbledon then Sutton (2tph)

Which I believe is the same as the current basic service pattern,
although without seeing calling patterns it's hard to say.

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 "St Albans - Elephant & Castle - Sevenoaks" train is new, and
could conceivably call at both.

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.


No. Especially if you're trying get to Kentish Town and you board a St
Albans express, which I've obviously never done.
