This story is deliberately misleading. What it actually means is that
the December timetable will include paths that allow for trains to be
run, if and only if, there's an agreement with the unions about manning.
Which seems as unlikely as ever.
It's a bit like Cambridge South, where the working timetable (note
absence of the word "public" in front of "timetable" in the EWR announcement), has included platform numbers and timing since the last change, but

Well, it says PASS for many services, including non-empty
passenger ones, so there should be a new timetable before
the end of the month?

That's not what "Public Timetable" means.

There will be a timetable printed on a large sheet of paper, and affixed
to the wall of the station, once it has opened.

Which needs a timetable change unless

Hmmm...
The thread title led me to believe that the article was about trains to
and from Newark Liberty Airport.

All passenger services at Cambridge South on RTT are shown as VAR,
which means a variation to the working timetable.
