Marylebone Station
Marylebone Station
Marylebone, London
Opened in 1899 as the terminus of the Great Central Railway, up until the Channel Tunnel Rail Link it was the newest of London's stations, and as such never really became as busy as other established routes. However, changes in the late 1980s meant that services expanded, with Chiltern Railways introducing routes to Birmingham, and a new company Wrexham Shropshire and Marylebone Railway started in 2006 expecting to increase the range of routes even more - making the station far more important than in the 1980s when it was almost closed!
