RAILWAY INTELLIGENCE.

LONDON AND NORTH-WESTERN.
The works at the Kilburn station on this line ere
proceeding with activity. Tl:is new station is situated
on the north side of the main line between the Edg-
ware-road and another road which crosses the line
some distance to the east of the latter road. The
station has been roofed in, and is in a forward state.
Preparations are being made for constructing the new
siding to the station, and for this purpose the bridge
crossing the main line to the east of the station has
been extended by an additional arch so as to admit the
siding to pass under it to the station. The bridge
has also been widened to accommodate the additional
traffic which it is expected will pass over it on the
completion of the works. It is believed that the
station will be ready for traffic in the early part of
next month, and that it will afford great accommo-
dation to the inhabitants of the district.

The important selection
of the
the South Wales line has now precise terminus of
been made. After a
careful survey of the whole of the harbour of Mil-
ford, from the harbour mouth as far as Pembroke-
dock, in the course of
„which Mr. Brunel and Captain
Claxton have personally examined and taken sourld-
hip of every creek, their reports have been laid be-
fore the di •
rectors, who have thereupon decided on
making the principal station or terminus at Nayland,
exactly oppesito the Royal Dockyard, where at love
water at neap-tide the largest vessel in the navy can
ride, there being 42 feet of water close to the shore.
This will be the station for the mail packets, should
this be established as a packet station. A short line
of three miles will also be run on to the town of Mil-
ford, where there is a natural basin, where every
vessel in Great Britsin may ride in safety from the
fine roadstead beyond. The works between Swansea
and CarmArthen are progressing favourably. The
foundations for the Loughor-bridge, near Llanelly,
are being laid. Tbis is one of the heaviest works
that remain to be accomplished on this portion of the
line, a great deal of which runs upon dead
