The network change notice (formal consultation within the industry) states "The station will be known as Portway Park and Ride."
Construction has started and it is due to open in 2019:

I wonder how many of the 365 (366) squares you could populate with stations that opened on that day in history?I thought this thread might be about a wall calendar featuring photos of different stations each month. What a shame, I would have gone for one of those.
Added Waterbeach to the OP as per https://www.railforums.co.uk/threads/a-new-waterbeach-station.168095/

Construction of Worcestershire Parkway is also well under way.
I noticed that Reading Green Park is shown on the staff TMS displays at Reading already - does anyone know when construction is planned to start (if not already?)

I believe that Inverness Airport is due to open soon? Will that station open in 2019 as well?

There is also Leeds Bradford Airport Parkway which is set to open before 2021 for which the cash is there its just the matter of building it. East Leeds Parkway / Thorpe Park is suppose to be 2023 but at the rate things are looking it could well be earlier depending on how fast the Thorpe Park development is going.

2020 is unfortunately a tad optimistic for Skelmersdale - from the press release of 18 September 2017: "Should a strong business case for [a new station at Headbolt Lane in Knowsley and a new railway branch line to Skelmersdale town centre] be developed and appropriate funding– currently estimated to be in the region of £300m– be identified and secured, [they] could be delivered within 10 years."
Thanks for that. I'll amend the OP to reflect that.

You have listed Dalcross for 2019 and Inverness Airport for 2020. Which is it as they are one and the same place. Inverness Airport Station will be built almost on the same site as the old Dalcross Station. In some reports I have read the station name will be Dalcross (for Inverness Airport), so actually just the one station.
Cheers Lancastrian. I'll remove Dalcross, and move the Crossrail stations to 2020, while I'm at it.

OP updated to reflect info on East Linton, Reston, and Horden stations
Err...it's Reston.
Renton, near Dumbarton, has been open since 1850

Is there any more news on Elland station in W Yorkshire? I was on RTT earlier and if you bring up a Huddersfield to Leeds service via Bradford it’s got Elland mentioned and the code ELN. Nothing booked to call there yet.
It's mentioned in the TfN strategic transport plan but nothing started or funding in place as yet as far as I'm aware. The thing is if they are going to undertake major work the trans Pennine route through Huddersfield practically closing it, are they going to start work on the only line that's available in to Leeds albeit from Brighouse and Halifax. I'd imagine Brighouse might well be used, best it can anyway for services in to Leeds during the work so are they going to start building it where there might need to be line closures? I am quite looking forward to Elland station though, think it has big potential as a parkway type station.
Fair enough, not seen anything in funding. Link?

AFAIK the code was allocated in the late 1990s when the Brighouse scheme was being planned. It was a later funding shortfall that left Elland without a station. I think it's still a timing point due to the (now defunct) signal box.

The code doesn't work on RTT, I've tried it a few times but it is listed after Elland which is as you say a timing point on RTT.
It was a bit of surprise but the funding release has enabled the local authorities to hit the accelerator. Clearly, it still needs to negotiate the appropriate hurdles that any infrastructure programme would.
