I think a plausible scenario is:
- Cambridge/King's Lynn/Peterborough fasts: 5+5 car IEP to King's
Cross
- 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. :-(

What's wrong with the semi-fasts? The Gatwick services are going
to be pretty slow from SPILL to Gatwick, so adding a few minutes
north of SPILL isn't the end of the world.

It's about 15 minutes so we will get to Gatwick considerably quicker
via Victoria, by the look of it.

Can't use a Network Railcard discount on Gatwick Express though, and
not having to do the Tube with luggage is nice.

Yes, it's a better option for Gatwick. For Brighton GatEx doesn't really
come into it.
