Marylebone was built by the Great Central railway and opened in 1899. In 1923 the railways were 'grouped' under government direction and merged into four large companies. The London and North Eastern was one of these and it absorbed the Great Central. The LNER thus found itself running trains into the Midlands, Yorkshire, and Lancashire as far west as Liverpool from Marylebone - rather a long way from the 'North Eastern' of its title. Upon nationalistion in 1948 it was only a matter of time before the 'competing' services from Marylebone were 'rationalised' and the Great Central main line was closed in the mid sixties. Many trains were steam hauled right up to the end. Services to the Midlands and Yorkshire/Lancashire were then concentrated on other London terminals. Marylebone remains busy today - not just with local trains but with a relatively recent service to Birmingham. This competes with trains from Euston and thus retains the competetive ethos of the old Great Central/LNER.

There definitely would have been trains at Marylebone Station in 1931, until Nationalisation (BR). Marylebone was built by one of the LNER's constituent's, meaning that trains would almost definitely have run there.

There certainly would have been since Marylebone Station was built by the Great Central Railway, one of the constituent companies of the LNER.
