Does anyone know why the junk yard next

New Cross Gate has finally been cleared
and some trackside work is going on?
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.

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