This is the first coverage I've seen which correctly described the area around the new station as Leyton, not Walthamstow. Top marks, dg.
Retarding housing developers, this is going up on the other side of the road....

My reading is that first train will indeed be 2000, not 0800, because of engineering works on part of the route.

Aha, thanks...

As a result of Network Rail maintenance work between Tottenham Hale and Stratford, until approximately 20:15, Hertford East trains will be diverted to/from Liverpool Street calling at Hackney Downs and Will NOT serve Stratford.
Timetable: https://www.abelliogreateranglia.co.uk/f/135177/135177.pdf
So the first train to Stratford will be at 20:18, and the first train from Stratford at 20:21.

Note the word "approximate" in that engineering notice.
Will be frustrating for anyone wanting to catch the first train!

Shame we can't have a few more Hertford E <-> Stratford direct trains.
But then why would you?

Yup, a station to enable housing to be developed and advertised as being minutes from a rail station. The fact the line doesn't go where the owners want to go is just something the developers hope the buyers don't check.
Still, good to see a new station.

The first n/b train on the first Sunday is scheduled to start at Liverpool Street thus giving possibly the first and only direct train from Central London to Lea Bridge Station.
I'm a tiny bit sceptical about when the actual *first* train will be. If the engineering works finish early I'll not be surprised if the station is served earlier than planned.

@PC"If the engineering works finish early I'll not be surprised if the station is served earlier than planned"
......except that no-one will have been rostered to drive any earlier trains - they are certainly unlikely to pay extra Sunday overtime rates for someone to be on standby just in case.

At risk of pedantry, the line was never actually closed prior to 2005 or freight only. There used to be one train in to Stratford in the morning, to avoid the time and cost of formally closing the line to passengers. It didn't stop at the closed station, of course. I remember catching the train once, getting on at Seven Sisters and accessing the Hertford to Stratford line by a series of connecting curves. Arrival at Stratford was to a semi-derelict section of the station that disappeared prior to the Olympics.

So, to conclude, it is faster to rebuild an old station with trains running past than a bike lane at Bow.... or maybe it is a reflection on project management ability...
