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...)

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...

Terminate at Clapham Junction?
Are things any better since I was a supervisor there.
I expect Southern services will only use Platform 17, hardly passenger
friendly and Platform 2 will be a bit of a trek for Gatwick passengers
