Does this track work in anyway affect the starlate? I imagine if #11/14 is running late it might miss it's window?

They are saying that the STARLIGHT will run through, but encounter delays of up to one hour through the trackwork zone.

This track work is making the Starlate arrive into its endpoints roughly 6 hours late, only a few hours later than usual.
