I'm assuming that the Thameslink trains will take over the London
Bridge to Horsham stoppers. What about the other end? If they form what
is now the King's Cross to Cambridge stopper then Meldreth, Shepreth
and Foxton platforms will need to be extended to eight car length.

The relevant section of the table explains the Cambridge and Peterborough
services will run 'semi-fast' on the northern part of the route.

As I said in the first post there is more info in the original, but a
number of routes are stopping one side of the Thames and semi fast the
other, and vice versa...

"semi-fast" is a relative term though. It might just mean that they
will not be stopping at the inner suburban stations.

The Cambridge-King's Cross trains I am calling semi-fast are actually all
stations (some miss Ashwell & Morden) from Royston to Stevenage and then
Finsbury Park and King's Cross. The slows also call at stations to Royston
and from Stevenage to Hatfield plus Potters Bar.
