We were delighted to join Rachel Blake, Labour’s Candidate for the Cities of London and Westminster to celebrate 125 years of London Marylebone station with local residents and rail industry stakeholders.

The anniversary marks 125 years since the opening of Marylebone, as the London terminus of the Great Central Railway on 15 March 1899.  The station was designed by Henry William Braddock, a civil engineer working for the Great Central Railway. It was considered modest in design at the time due to budgetary constraints, but today it is considered one of the jewels in the crown of London’s rail network.

The anniversary comes as Chiltern Railways continue work to deliver additional capacity and a cleaner, greener fleet for its customers.
