Is it me, or does the station only have four platforms? Sure it did last week... I have no idea when they shut the two, but i think they are planning to reopen them. Harris 23:45, 14 Aug 2004 (UTC)
I fail to see why what should be separate articles on the tube and the overground railways are merged into a single WP article here; they have different histories, different owners, etc. Cross-linked, certainly, but should be separate; for a start the route box is for one only! -- Vamp: Willow 11:22, 28 Feb 2005 (UTC)
Is Marylebone station located in Marylebone or Lisson Grove? Simply south 19:48, 14 July 2006 (UTC)
Can people help develop the location portion of the article similar to that in the page for Paddington, maybe mentioning Lord's, Regents Park and Madame Tussads? Ironman1503 9 August 2008, 11.16 (UTC)
"Chiltern trains made the station the terminus for a new intercity service to Birmingham's Snow Hill station" - as mentioned by several people on uk.railway today, Marylebone-Snow Hill through services were running before privatisation: 1993 seems to be the start date. Not as frequent as today, to be sure, but they were there. 81.159.57.7 ( talk) 17:56, 27 May 2009 (UTC)
"Long-distance trains from Marylebone began to be scaled back from 1958 after the line's transfer from BR's Eastern Region to the London Midland Region". I have a problem here. It is true that at Nationalisation, Marylebone, being an ex-LNER station, was placed in the Eastern Region. It's also true that in 1958 it was transferred to the London Midland Region. My problem is that the text suggests that this was a direct transfer; however, according to two sources, it was WR-LMR:
Further adjustment of the boundaries between the Regions of British Railways came into effect on February 1. In the London area, the Western Region has relinquished to the London Midland Region the former Great Central main line from Marylebone to Northolt Junction, and Neasden to Harrow South

help)Marylebone station was first designated Eastern Region and fitted with blue Regional signs; then it was transferred to the Western Region, and completely re-signed in chocolate, and finally transferred to the London Midland, and re-signed in red!
Bonavia uses the word "finally" because he was writing before the transfer from LMR back to WR on 11 October 1987.
Thus, what we lack is the ER-WR transfer, which must have happened before 1958. -- Redrose64 ( talk) 14:22, 24 June 2010 (UTC)

The pronunciation from what I've seen on the internet is disputable... here it's pronounced "Mar-li-bone", but certain internet forums, and my pronunciation suggests it should be "Marry-le-bone". Can this be added to the pronunciation key as and when anyone can research this in detail? Richard n 22:43, 3 August 2012 (UTC)
The pronunciation is still incorrect. The phoneme ‘le’ is silent, ( Kreb ( talk) 03:03, 13 October 2019 (UTC)).
The lead states the pronunciation of "Marylebone" as MAR-li-bən such that bən ends with /ən/ as in "button". However, the pronunciation recording pronounces /bəʊn/ as in "bone". Checking the Oxford Advanced Learner's Dictionary (the only dictionary that has an entry for Marylebone), it seems like bən is correct. Perhaps a new recording is needed?

Hello! Just a quick note that it seems Marylebone is unusual by not using 'X railway station' as the article title. (With a redirect going from 'X station'). I'd propose we change this article to match. Would be interested to know others' thoughts on this too - it's longstanding so I'd be reluctant to make the change without getting a consensus here first. Mike1901 ( talk) 12:07, 22 November 2016 (UTC)
What is the issue with changing this section's heading to "1948"? The text in the section begins with the formation of BR and the introduction of the Master Cutler and South Yorkshireman, all of which happened in this year. Ritchie333 (talk) (cont) 12:01, 23 November 2016 (UTC)
Splitting the section in two; where one section is a sentence long, is probably not what the MOS recommends, but I can't work out where the particular guideline would be there. Ritchie333 (talk) (cont) 22:01, 24 November 2016 (UTC)
I see these "Cultural references" or "In popular culture" sections on just about every London transport related article I've done substantial work for. What I've found is that provided you have a reliable source that can be verified to tie the article's subject matter with the film / TV show / song, and there's a reasonable chance people will associate the two, then I think it should stay. Unsourced or unreliably sourced stuff should go - even if it's true, nobody has asserted its important enough to mention in a general article about something else. I had a bit of a trim not too long ago in this article.
If you don't do this, a new or anonymous user will come along and add it anyway, simply because these things are far easier to throw in an article than actual history, engineering plans, significant architects, sponsors etc. Then you'll have to discuss it anyway. Sometimes (eg: Talk:North Circular Road/GA1), it's been suggested there's not enough cultural references in an article and there are more to add; at other times (eg: Talk:Woolwich Ferry/GA1), consensus has been with a bit of a resigned such but again concluding that reliably sourced stuff with a reasonably plausible connection should stay. Ritchie333 (talk) (cont) 14:23, 26 March 2017 (UTC)
Do we really need this section? No other station articles have it. In particular, you shouldn't expand a good article unless your additions still meet the GA criteria. Ritchie333 (talk) (cont) 16:08, 3 September 2017 (UTC)
No other station articles have it.- but several do, such as Beeston, Boston, Derby, Derby Friargate, Doncaster, Grantham, Newcastle, Newark Castle, Newark North Gate, Nottingham, Nottingham Victoria, Sheffield, Wellingborough, York. Of course, all of these were added by Andrewrabbott ( talk · contribs). -- Redrose64 🌹 ( talk) 17:25, 3 September 2017 (UTC)
Just wondering whether the 2015 'small fire in an air conditioning unit' is really important enough to have in the article? After all the other accident is quite a serious one, and there must have been lots of similar small problems in the past unrecorded. Bob talk 09:14, 24 September 2017 (UTC)
