No, 95% of Thameslink journeys start or end in Zone 1. The reason
Thameslink
is "successful" is because it doesn't have enough seats per hour to meet
the
demand created by calling at up to five Zone 1 stations. Its demand does
not
come close to the Central and Piccadilly Lines, which serve a dozen Zone 1
stations each.

Isn't the reason for that that the passenger is continuing his journey by
other means? From observation, there is always a considerable number of
passengers getting on and off at each station between Kings Cross TL and
London Bridge, and a large number who decamp at East Croydon southbound. If
anything, City Thameslink, which doesn't have an interchange with other
railway lines, is the lightest used. I suspect that the number of travellers
whose total journey terminates at a Thameslink Zone 1 station is very small
indeed.
