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...

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.
