The online timetables at the Southwest Trains site
http://www.southwesttrains.co.uk/uploads/1512ptt01.pdf and the timetable
at the Network Rail site show that there is a new Sunday only service
from Waterloo terminating at Kingston via the Hounslow Loop with a
reversal at Twickenham.

However, the Southwest trains personal timetable printer at
http://www.southwesttrains.co.uk/cre...timetable.aspx and also
the TfL journey planner seem to include no such trains, and a personal
timetable from Hounslow to Kingston requires a change at Feltham (not
Twickenham). A bit more experimentation to work out where the trains
that reverse at Twickenham are going shows that there is a direct
service from Datchet to New Malden... I presume these trains are going
from Windsor to Waterloo via the Kingston Loop with a reversal at
Twickenham. So what's really happening, and why the difference between
the generic timetables and the personal timetables?

Doesn't RTT say what service the trains mutate to/from ?

What date are you looking at? It is not running this Sunday due to
engineering works, but if you try 3rd Jan it should appear.

You're right, engineering work was the cause. It threw me because there
is so much engineering work that 3rd Jan and 20th March seem to be the
only Sundays in the first three months of the year where the service
actually runs.
