The photo used is exciting - 3rd rail into Marylebone almost
overnight!

And look how many different lines converge on Marylebone - all those extra
routes! Fitting them all through the tunnel under Lords cricket ground
might
be a problem.

The GCR built two doubletrack, and one tripple track tunnels under the
MCC Lords grounds. Although AFIK one one has track within it just
now.

I never knew that but I've just checked the large-scale maps on
http://maps.nls.uk/geo/find/#zoom=14...0.1684,51.5302

Although the tunnel further north is only single bore and twin track, the
southern section beneath Lords has two extra bores and 2+3 tracks either
side of the through ones:
