I thought Network rail had already started platform 0 but it was proceeding at the usual snail's pace.
Certainly plant and a couple of orangemen there the other day.

There is a lot of work to be done before work can actually start:
Site investigations will have to be done for the overhead lines. And then filled back in before the actual holes are drilled. And there is always the risk that secondary surveys will be needed.
I suspect it will need a fair few more portacabins than are already present. Work will need to be done to connect utilities and sewerage.
A smaller site office will need to be established before work can start on connecting utilities to the site office.
A safe walking route will need to be established between the site office, worksite and access. And once the main site office is up and running this will need to be repeated.
Many hundreds of yards of barriers will need to be put up.
At the start of each shift contractors will need to drive many hundreds of miles to the site, and shortly after arriving head back before their shift ends.
And that's all before any actual work can start.
