Cambridge North station is due to open in May 2017. Here are some notes on when the related data started to appear in the various feeds. Maybe this will be useful to someone.

The TIPLOC 'CAMBNTH' has been present in the CORPUS, CIF and ITPS feeds at least since mid-2016. Trains have even been scheduled to call there, presumably as part of the building works.
Passenger schedules started to appear in the CIF feed over the 2016/2017 holiday period.
The TIPLOC was observed in the Darwin reference data on 23/1/2017, though without a human-friendly name. It's not clear how long it's been present for, and it doesn't appear anywhere in the timetable.
Records for this station appeared in the Train Planning Data (PIF file) released on 27th January 2017. This data includes a location record (with friendly name), three platform records, network links and timings.
The station appeared in NaPTAN sometime between 8/3/2017 and 23/3/2017.
It appeared in SMART sometime between 16/8/2017 and 14/9/2017.

-Since the PIF data is updated only twice a year I'd expect Cambridge North to appear in the next update. I expect it'll appear in NaPTAN and SMART at some point too.
