In a joined up world they could have had GN services running through to

And also completely pointless. The GN connection to Thameslink is not
being built so that people from Stevenage can get to Sevenoaks. The
whole point is for people travelling from GN stations to have through
trains to the central London stations at Farringdon, Blackfriars, etc.
