And if that's not what it means, will (as Colin suggests) the
"stoppers at everywhere north of Welwyn Garden City" run into KX not
Thameslink?

I was rather assuming that 12-car trains to Foxton were unlikely.

Why Foxton in particular? If the Cambridgshire rural stations are being
extended to 8car, and the Thameslink trains are 12car, it's simply a
necessary side effect.

If the point is to subsume the existing Kings Cross Outer semi-fasts they
should go half to Cambridge and half to Peterborough anyway.

The Peterborough 2tph semi-fasts are going to Three Bridges.

I'm becoming more convinced that "semi-fast" describes all four
services, and you only look upon them as stoppers because you've got
even better "fast" services from Cambridge.
