After WW2 Britain had the choice of restarting on 405 or re-engineering to 625. The decision wasn't easy. Both the TV service and TV receivers were expensive and Britain was desperately short of money. There was also a great wish to get the service back on air as soon as possible.
It was ultimately as much a political decision as an engineering one. The existing studios and TX at Ally Pally were repaired as needed. Receiver manufacturers, notably EMI, offered to overhaul the 20,000 or so sets then in existence. New TVs were expensive and not readily available.
