Has anyone had experience of using an Oyster pre pay via Marylebone? I
want to travel into Marylebone on Chiltern and then continue my journey on
the Bakerloo to Queens Park. The ticket office at Amersham said it should
count the Amersham to Queens Park as one journey, but I should check the
card to make sure it does not treat it as two and if it does, contact the
Oyster help line. If anyone has any previous experience of this journey I
would be grateful for your thoughts

I regularly use pre-pay via Marylebone, and only get charged for a single
journey.

This is different from some/most other stations. Beware if you want to use
toilets which are 'outside' the ticket barriers !

I guess you'll be charged a single trip from zone D (Amersham) to zone 2
(Queens Park).

Yup, it should work fine; I've done Amersham to Gloucester Road via
Marylebone before, and was charged correctly. You have a certain amount
of time to "change" at Marylebone (i.e. to spend between the two sets of
barriers). I think it's about 20 minutes. I used that to my advantage
when changing between the Jubilee and the DLR at Canary Wharf once, to
find a toilet during my interchange time!
