I think they should just fix the roof if it is leaking, close off one or two of the concourses, leaving 2 left and consider whether it's cheaper to keep the train or convert it to a walkway with moving sidewalks.
If you close off concourses, you still have some expenses with them and you can't "earn" any revenue from them. If they can demolish the existing landside building and lease the land to hospitality companies or other corporations, they can earn revenue, even as a one time payment.
