Marylebone station (i/ˈmɑːrlᵻbən/ MAR-li-bən), also known as London Marylebone, is a central London railway terminus and London Underground station on the Bakerloo line. It is in Travelcard Zone 1 and close to Euston and Paddington, and well-known as a square on the British Monopoly board.
The station opened in 1899 as the London terminus of the Great Central Main Line (GCML), the last major railway to open in Britain in over 100 years, linking the capital to Nottingham, Sheffield and Manchester. Marylebone was the last of London's main line terminal stations to be built, and one of the smallest, having opened with half the number of platforms originally planned. It has limited connections to the London Underground as it was built after the main tube lines in the area. The station suffered from a lack of traffic and after the GCML closed in 1966, it gradually declined in use.
