Network Rail's press release shows the track work in progress, I can't
work out from the pic if they've laid two tracks or just the one. Can
anyone clarify?

That page includes this text:

"Network Rail engineers will continue to work around the clock and over
the weekend to design and build a small, temporary loop around the section
of track above the damaged arch on the adjacent land which was once
occupied by the Feltham marshalling yard. This will allow trains to cross
the river safely while repairs to the permanent structure are carried out."

If you look at the full size picture (on the download link) you can see
more clearly that the track has been slewed.
