I regularly use pre-pay via Marylebone, and only get charged for

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).

Marylebone NR to Marylebone LU is an official interchange, and thus
the
15 minute Oyster timer applies. You will not be additionally charged
if
you go through the barriers from the Chiltern platforms to the LU
platforms.

Thanks everyone, that is good news. I will have to be careful to
time my journey home so that I don't have to wait too long at
Marylebone for a Chiltern service


I wouldn't normally recommend this, but, since everyone else seems to
do it anyway....
If you find you are going to wait "too long" at Marylebone on the
return leg, just go the platform side of the barriers, and wait for
the train to be called. I don't like this practise that so many people
seem to employ, as it blocks up the area between the gates and the
actual platforms for people wanting to get to or off trains, but
no-one seems to do anything to stop it...
