Default Thameslink KO1 to Tonbridge and Dartford?

I don't know if it's even remotely possible in view of buildings which
have appeared since the spur was closed (90 years ago?). Certainly not
possible in time for help during the Thameslink Project, and useless in
the long term.

Like you, I suspect the route is now blocked. This article gives some
history:

I would dispute the 'useless in the long term' bit - at one time Brighton to
Moorgate was my daily commute, and a service that avoided the change at
Farringdon would have been very useful!
