Information on London Marylebone Station



London Marylebone station is a National Rail and London Underground station standing in Melcombe Place in Marylebone London and just off the A40 Marylebone Road, and midway between Euston and Paddington Main Line stations. Marylebone is close to Regents Park, Lords Cricket Ground, Baker Street and Madame Tussauds.

The last Main Line railway into London was that of the Great Central Railway which had carried coal from the middle of 1898, but could not handle passenger traffic until Marylebone station was ready for opening.  The station opened on 15 March 1899 and was the design of Henry William Braddock  a civil engineer for the GCR. The costs were far greater than had been expected on the London extension with the company close to bankruptcy, only four platforms were built, less than half of the original ten it had planned. This also meant that the Great Central Hotel, the work of Robert Elis who was also involved in Liverpool Street’s Great Eastern Hotel, had to be built outside the station.

The GCR linked London to High Wycombe, Aylesbury, Rugby, Leicester, Nottingham, Sheffield and Manchester. There were also local services from northwest Middlesex, High Wycombe and Aylesbury.

Due to the lateness of the line being the last mainline into London passenger traffic was low compared to its well established rivals and near neighbour the Midland Line which terminated at London St Pancras station. The line was heavily used for freight and coal trains that ran from the North to Marylebone freight depot which used to lie next to the station.
During its heyday of 1923 and 1948 the line saw many prestigious locomotives, with the “Flying Scotsman”, “Sir Nigel Gresley” and Mallard” frequent visitors away from their main route of the East Coast Main Line. There were also special trains running up to Scotland.
The line was transferred to the BR Midland Region in 1958, resulting in long distance trains from Marylebone being scaled back, the “Master Cutler” was diverted into St Pancras via the Midland Main Line and by the 1960s there were no daytime trains running north of Nottingham, Express services were also cut, although a few trains still ran at night. Local services were cut and stations closed by 1963, with fright services finishing in 1965. The Beeching axe fell on the GCR in 1966 with a large part of the line closing north of Aylesbury, Marylebone was now just a terminus for local trains services to Aylesbury and High Wycombe.

With lack of investment at the end of the 1960s,  local services and the station itself became increasingly run down, the only interest being the heritage trains that Marylebone hosted. Proposals to close the station and divert services via High Wycombe into nearby Paddington were put forward in the early 1980s along with extending the Metropolitan Line to Aylesbury, with London trains via Amersham routed through to Baker Street.  Marylebone would then be converted into a coach station, the tracks lifted and converted into a direct road for coaches only. This proved impractical and all plans were dropped.

During the late 1980s the station fortunes changed and with Paddington station now being overcrowded BR diverted many services into Marylebone. A multimillion pound facelift followed, financed by selling off the land where the former goods yard once stood. The Class 115 dmus that had served the line for many years were replaced by state of the art Class 165 Turbo trains.
In 1996 following rail privatisation, the station was taken over by Chiltern Railways, who introduced a new intercity service to Birmingham’s Snow Hill station and a new platform (platform 6) opened May 2006.
A new diesel depot opened near Wembley Stadium railway station, to compensate for the closure of Marylebone’s station sidings.

It is the only London terminus station without electrified lines, and for many years was only served by diesel multiple units, until the return of services to Wrexham  that are diesel locomotive hauled services hauling passenger stock. There are also special hauled services by diesel or steam locomotives, mainly on Sundays.

The underground station is served by the Bakerloo Line, with access via a set of escalators from the mainline station concourse, which also houses the underground station's ticket office.
