They're on a 999 year lease:http://www.telegraph.co.uk/sport/mai...2008/04/10/scl...

It would appear there are three double track tunnels:http://prints.leics.gov.uk/low.php?xp=media&xm=670835

IIRC Two were double track tunnels and one was a triple track tunnel.

One is obviously still in use, and the other two must have been for
when there was a big freight operation at Marylebone.

There were once extensive freight facilities at Marylebone. These
included transshipment docks for the Regent's Canal. Most of the
freight depot is now part of a public housing subdivision.

I can't see any use for them now - you'd need more platforms at
Marylebone and a way of four tracking at least to Neasden.

Marylebone was indented to have 10 platforms. Originally only four
were build.
