The Silwood Triangle depot is however the perfect base from which to
construct the new link with the existing South London Line (albeit
along a long closed alignment) - it's something like a mile and a half
of railway, if that. Everything is basically already set up and ready
to go, but if the Silwood works depot hasn't got anything left to do
it will obviously wind down and pack up shop.

I'd think it's actually on the wrong side of the railway viaducts. The
major works are a replacement bridge over Surrey Canal Road
(incorporating said station) and a bridge over Hornshay Street, plus
various earthworks, and from Silwood you'd have to go through the
various narrow viaduct arches or use the not especially good road
access.

(btw, they've already done a whole load of building work on the new
flying junction for phase 2, which takes up a lot of the land area of
the Silwood triangle)
