Faringdon is a far better interchange with LU. The odds are that you
can get from there to where you want to be quicker than walking
from the new Thameslink St Pancras station.

Not from where I sit. Links from Thameslink to WAGN will not be
easier as far as I can see. However, unless they improve Thameslink
cross-London transit times it will still be quicker to go to Victoria
and take the Victoria Line to the Cross. Rather undermines the point
of Thameslink.

Well, coming from the south, get off at Faringdon, over the bridge,
next LU train to KX, nip up the stairs and you are in the concourse.
Coming from the north, cross to the opposite face of the platform and do
the same. Compared with a long trek and awkward road crossings it wins
for me. If you have luggage, even more so.

YMMV then. Still takes rather longer than using Victoria.
