EYMOUTIL—We hear that the idea of forming a
branch line of rail from Moreton, as proposed some time
since, is now abandoned, and the original
intention will
be carried into effect, of laying an extra rail on the
Dorchester and Weymouth line, so as to make that por-
tion available for both the carriages of the broad gauge
of the Great Western and the narrow gauge of the
Southampton and Dorchester Company,
and we have
much pleasure in finding that the works are now pro-
ceeding with earnestness between our town and Dor-
chester, the number of hands are much increased, and
we hope that at the expiration of twelve months, or a
little more, we shall rejoice in the opening of this rapid
communication between the two towns. That heavy
undertaking, the Ridgway
completion.—Poole Herald.
