The date I'd heard was Thursday 15th December, however a new timetable
will be launched in Friday 18th November - presumably this will be the
timetable that includes running to LCY. My guess is that from 18 Nov
trains will run empty between Canning Town and King George V, with
passenger service introduced mid-December.

When the Lewisham extension opened, passenger running was introduced
without fanfare mid-morning on a Saturday. The press & VIP opening
was two days later.
