You asked
Would it be possible to understand if there have ever been plans for a Jubilee Line station at Marylebone? It would make even more sense with the Elizabeth Line station at Bond Street.
We answered
TfL Ref: 0807-2223
Thank you for your request received by Transport for London (TfL) on 4 July 2022 asking for information about plans for a Jubilee Line station at Marylebone. Your request has been considered in accordance with the requirements of the Freedom of Information Act and our information access policy.
We do not hold the information you have requested as this hasn’t ever been considered.
We can say that if we did evaluate this proposal in detail we would likely conclude that the case for a new Jubilee line station at Marylebone would be weak. Marylebone is a short walk (c5 minutes via Melcombe Street) from the Jubilee line station at Baker Street, and there is also the option of a simple cross-platform interchange at Baker Street from the Jubilee line to the Bakerloo line, which stops at Marylebone – so it is highly likely that the modest benefit of a new station to Jubilee line alighters heading for a destination around Marylebone would be outweighed by the disbenefit of the time taken for the additional stop for the much larger number of Jubilee line through-passengers on the link between St John’s Wood and Baker Street. The proposal would obviously also have a considerable up-front cost.
Please see the attached information sheet for details of your right to appeal.
Yours sincerely
Sara Thomas FOI Case Management Team General Counsel Transport for London
