I think Guy Gorton would have enjoyed this if he was in London that day.

He would indeed! I have seen all sorts f events there but this is
probably the best. I started using M'bone in January 1969 which is a
frightening span of nearly 49 years. Infrequent visitor now.

Absolutely perfectly wonderful.

We moved to the Vale of Aylesbury in 1960, and started using the
trains into Marylebone, and to Rugby, shortly after that.

Question: back in the day the BR ticket office was roughly where M&S
is today. Last time we. my spouse and I, were at Marylebone there was
new ticket office backing onto the platform area,

Was this built new, or moved from elsewhere? It has a very classic
look about it.

AFAIAA, it was built new in the early Noughties. At one time, BR tickets were sold from the LU ticket for a while.
