These "wouldn't it be great if we had a train from here to there"
arguements never cease to amaze me. Presumabley somebody waves a magic
wand and hey presto ther is all the extra capacity for this.
Aren't doing away with the dedicated Gatwick Express for the reason of
overcrowding on the Brighton line. I am not sure how many people from
Sussex would want to end up in Liverpool St.

Those who do usually take Thameslink to Farringdon and change onto the
Circle/Metropolitan/H&C line there. Just a walk over the bridge required.
Coming back is even easier.

I can't see this proposal being an advance on that.

Or alight at London Bridge and catch the bus! (The route via Farringdon is
certainly easy but not exactly quick, ditto Jubilee line to Stratford - if
heading East - and Northern to Bank, change for the Central too much like
hard work).
