Yes, anything using Haywood Jn but not Shaftholme Jn. Have they started yet? Couldn't see anything in RTT.

No.
Work has overrun, so trains are not now expected to start using
the new chord for at least another couple of weeks yet.

That was the route proving loco after the completion of S&T commissioning within a final weekend possession.

It's worth noting that this new flyover, known as the Doncaster North Curve, has been in use for a couple of weeks now.
I saw the finished article today whilst passing (twice) between Doncaster and York,
I must say I was very impressed, it's very easy on the eye and blends into it's surroundings very well indeed. It's a basic structure but very cleverly designed to look like something which has always been there. The green paint applied to the steelwork sets it off very well and once the concrete piers have become weathered it will look even better.
I think NR have made a very good job of this project.
