Opening on Sunday 28th September according to the BBC, the article goes on
to mention that the station will be served by a (Southern) East Croydon -
Milton Keynes service (but see below...)
http://news.bbc.co.uk/1/hi/england/london/7618263.stm
Funnily enough, the trainline shows that on 15th December, Southern will be
running to MK hourly, but only from Clapham Junction, as there no longer
appear to be any through trains from further south.
Was this change expected at this early stage - I thought the initial plan
from the RUS _was_ for EC to MK and the cut back to CJ was for a later
change...
PS - the trainline also shows the new 3 tph WCML timetable to BHM and MAN in
use on 15th December - has the big decision now been made...

The NXEC booking engine shows hourly off-peak xx:10 ECR-MKC and xx:13
return services. The supposedly 455-worked 07:47 ECR-Shepherds Bush is
in there too.
GatEx Brighton extension timings also look accurate.

Superb. That'll be wonderful for me if I need to go to our Staines
office, and it might also be a nice alternative route to Tower Hill
where I work at present (go down from BLY/MKC to CJ then into
Waterloo) if I'm bored.
Through to Gatwick would have been nice, but the "round the side"
train coming back up to MK is a wonderful piece of news.

Did you miss that, contrary to my findings, EE507 has now posted
that the service IS running from EC, according to the NXEC planner...
