It was a great design but came with a host of difficulties. For one, It meant extending over the railway line which is fraught with danger. A close friend is involved in planning H&S for network rail and you'd be horrified how difficult it is to get anything done within the 15m restriction zone. Then the walkways to the tube etc would need approval and planning Then you will have countless protests from locals ,vested and unvested interests, the local council , the Mayors office , noise issues, restrictive working hours, planning issues, the proposed schedule of 5 years would almost certainly double as would the cost. a new build on a brownfield site is cheaper than a rebuild (a greenfield even cheaper) with the added bonuses c/w the sale of the original land or more likely redevelopment to residential then sale in a highly sort after area to help offset the build cost .
