Talk:Marylebone station

message: 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)

message: "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)
thread_title:  Not sure about this 

message: 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?

replies: text: I'm fairly sure that "Mar-li-bone" is the correct traditional pronunciation (certainly it is what I have grown up with), though I have heard "Marry-le-bone" more frequently in recent years, which I assumed was due to people mispronouncing it based on its spelling.  I guess we need to find some reliable sources for the pronunciation. BabelStone (talk) 22:56, 3 August 2012 (UTC)
replies: text: Remember, it is an area of London (and the name of a main road), not just a railway station. People who live or work there have traditionally tended to pronounce it "Marlybun", in my experience, but people from elsewhere tend not to know this, and pronounce it more like it is written. In a case like this, I do not really think you can say that there is only one "correct" pronunciation. -- Alarics (talk) 06:30, 4 August 2012 (UTC)

text: Was there a particular reason you decided to drag up a six year old discussion and de facto vandalise a GA because of your unsourced assertion? Ritchie333 (talk) (cont) 11:42, 13 October 2019 (UTC)

text: It's one of those English words where the pronounciation varies according to the place where the speaker lives and their social status. Rather like the words "Cherwell", "Magdalen" and "Thames" having completely different pronounciations ("Charwell", "Maudlin" and "Isis" respectively) for people who went to Oxford University. --Redrose64 (talk) 00:50, 25 December 2016 (UTC)
replies: text:  The sound file is titled as the UK pronunciation, for which the most common pronunciation is at least not with "bone" as the last syllable. The American pronunciation seems to be similar as well according to the Oxford dictionary, although it may often be pronounced mar-li-bone. However, the UK pronunciation should be the UK pronunciation, not the North American one. Esquivalience (talk) 03:38, 25 December 2016 (UTC)
thread_title:  Pronunciation 

message: The lead states the pronunciation of "Marylebone" as  such that  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  is correct. Perhaps a new recording is needed?

thread_title:  External links modified 

message: 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.

thread_title:  Proposal to change title of article 

message: 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)
replies: text: It's self explanatory in the section title. The section is about the service cuts which occurred between 1958 and 1966. The service cuts started in 1958 not 1948. G-13114 (talk) 00:30, 24 November 2016 (UTC)
replies: text: The previous section ends at 1947. If this one starts in 1958, that leaves a ten-year hole. In that hole, such things as the Master Cutler and South Yorkshireman occurred. --Redrose64 (talk) 09:47, 24 November 2016 (UTC)

thread_title:  Second section in "history" 

message: 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)

replies: text: I meant no other London stations, sorry; however we should not put it into a GA unless we have all the possible sources to keep it up to date, and state why it is important to the casual reader. Ritchie333 (talk) (cont) 18:47, 3 September 2017 (UTC)

message: 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)
