It wouldn't be very useful. The interim arrangement is more about
having somewhere to send the peak services from the north with the
Moorgate branch gone. There's not really anywhere to terminate them,
so running them through as services to Kent (replacing the SET
Blackfriars services) is the only real option.

What exactly is happening with the Moorgate branch?

Permanent closure of the NR lines between Farringdon and Moorgate, primarily
so that the NR platforms at Farringdon can be extended southwards over the
existing junction for 12 car Thameslink trains. Secondly, the 24 tph
throughput planned for the central section could not operate across the flat
junction anyway, even if there was an alternative way of extending the
platforms - they can't extend to the north because of the diveunder to get
to the other side of the LU tracks.
