Oh, OK, maybe I accidentally searched for a weird time of day, but for me it only gave journeys Redhill -> Victoria -> tube -> Kings Cross -> Cambridge.



You probably searched for a rush-hour period train. At that time of the day there are lots of Redhill -> Victoria trains, during the rest of the day there aren't and the Thameslink route is quicker.
