It won't be sold, as Peel Group are a property development group.......
Given the links to the motorway network etc., I would think yet another large Amazon distribution centre, plus maybe cloud data centre type facilities, with maybe solar farm etc.
Some of it could get hived off for some housing maybe?
Given the amount of money VTTS owe Peel Group for unpaid rent, they'll be lucky to even get anything for the tin triangle. I'd be surprised if there would be enough space given over to be able to continue running the engines etc., let move it under power.

Peel will want to maximise money generation from the site, so I wouldn't be very optimistic about '558's future going forward.
I think it will be a good few months before any indications of what will happen to the site becomes apparent.
