So not the IEP half trains planned for Lynn?

They don't have third-rail or ATO or high-capacity doors or any of
the other features required for the 24 tph Thameslink core.

I think a plausible scenario is:
- Cambridge/King's Lynn/Peterborough fasts: 5+5 car IEP to
King'sCross
- Cambridge semi-fast/Welwyn stopping services: 12-car Thameslink
- Hertford Loop: High-frequency semi-segregated service to Moorgate

So no useful Cambridge-Gatwick services after all. :-(

Why would anyone in Cambridge fly from Gatwick?

Because it's less hassle to get to by train than Heathrow?
