The annoying this is that they tore the structure down less than a year before the M was removed from the Brighton line. I doubt that they could have used it immediatley, but as the routing of the M down the West End became more and more permanent, and the changing of attitudes away from closure and demolition to that of rehabilitation in the latter part of the 1980's, the logic of having the M serve a rebuilt line would have been easy to see. The only thing which would have made it difficult was the enormous cost rebuilding the el structure would bring. Basically, it needed new everything and would have had to have been stripped down to a steel skeleton and rebuilt from there.
