Is this related to East London Line extension?

I wouldn't have thought so, as, AFAIK, the southern extension hasn't
got funding as yet. And also, AFAIK, the track will just be extended
southbound alongside the existing railway lines; the northbound track
coming from Brockley will go through New Cross Gate then there'll be
a
flyover across the railway to connect it to the existing tube line.

s/flyover/diveunder.


So no idea really why the junk yard is being cleared!

Staging area for materials perhaps?
