RAILWAY INTELLIGENCE.
REMANE I'S FOR NEXT SESSION.
The legacy of legislation (says the Railway Chronicle:
left by 1846 to 1847 turns out to be much more for.
midable than has been supposed. Upwards of sixty pro
jetted railways, lost last session, are to be brought for
ward in the next. Already, also, a couple of new lines
are projected from London directly west by Oxford and
Cheltenham; one by the broad, and its rival by the
narrow gauge promoters. Neither of these is a solitary
line, or a final measure. The dispute is all for Wales;
and each of these will merely be the trunk for a
group of Welsh lines, by which the Great Western
and the North-Western will dispute the large traffic
intermediate between the broad and narrow gauge
districts.
The Leicester and Bedford is another new project
for 1847. It is a child of the Great Northern, and
Messrs. Cubitt and Gibbs are the engineers. The line is
to proceed from Leicester through Bedford to Hitchin,
there to join the Great Northern. There are to be
150,000 shares of 101. each, one-half of which are
for the shareholders of the old Leicester and Bed-
ford, and the other half for the Great Northern Com-
pany.

jects are competing lines. These are indicated by
