Is this some mechanism to allow "inter-city" trains to run from the north,
right through London and down to the South-East. Or is it nowhere near that
sensible?

East-West, not North-South. And regional services, not InterCity.

No.

Although they probably could, following the Thameslink route.

Which is going to be intermittently closed for the next couple of years.

When completed the current East London Line project will allow that as will
the existing line betrween Willesden Junction and Clapham.
