The two new platforms (4 & 5) have now opened at London Marylebone as part of the Chiltern Railways Evergreen 2 project. [Chiltern Railways: Please update your website]
Hopefully it will mean fewer occasions of the late notification of platform numbers at Marylebone. Mind you, the new platforms 4, 5 & 6 at London Marylebone are so far from the concourse that two or three minutes has to be allowed to get to them, with hiking boots optional.
The platform barriers look as though they are having a significant upgrade and increase in numbers, though if my experience with the new gates is anything to go by, they need a bit of tweaking. My perfectly valid and otherwise functioning Oystercard received the flashing red eye of doom last week.

That walk to the concourse and back is a nightmare. I assume that Platforms 1,2 and 3 will probably give priority to the Birmingham and other long haul trains, no?
And what's with that huge statue/sculpture/man thingy in the corner? Do you know?
Regarding the local -v- long distance platform priority issues, I had the same concerns. However I caught a High Wycombe stopping service tonight, so that was a bonus!
I must be going blind or stupid (or possibly both), because I can't find the huge statue/sculpture/man thingy in the corner to which you refer.
