Is it to be an access for NR engineering trains delivering new track,
ballast etc, off the NR lines? It'll be a while before access is available
from the north of the route, and in any event, its the only practical way
full length welded rail could be delivered. It wouldn't have to be built to
the full standards of the finished article, just a through siding, if only
to be used for limited activities during possessions.

I'd think the connection to the outside world will be made at the
south end of New Cross Gate, which will also [probably] be needed as a
running line. The junction by Surrey Quays is just sidings and won't
go anywhere until/if Phase 2 is built.
