Default Surbiton - odd trackwork

Have been noticing some sort of trackwork going on to the south of Surbiton
station - just where the up Cobham branch joins the main line. They don't
seem to be
building sidings but this previously scrubby are has been cleared and
levelled and
quite a lot of track has been delivered there along with assorted diggers
and other
machinery.

Any ideas what all this is for?

It's being used as an advance storage site for the pre-made junctions.

Hampton Ct Jn is being replaced slowly over the weekends, some has been
done already - more to come.
