The object which has for a long time occupied the attention of
every railway proprietary whose line terminates near the metropolis,
viz., the attainment of some point for their terminus situated more
centrally, and with readier access to London travellers tbau their pre-
sent sites, appears now to he in course of completion.
Two principal lines of railway, the South Western and South
Eastern, have proposed and intend to carry into effect extensions of
their lines from the existing termini to the neighbourhood of the
Waterloo and flungerford Bridges, and to tlds point the traffic from
Birmingham and the North of England will also be enabled to pro-
ceed, through the contemplated extension of the West London Rail-
way, across the Thames to a junction with the South Western Line.
The perfect attainment of the object in view will, however, remain
unaccomplished, so long as the terminating point is kept on the south
side of the river; since, although a considerable improvement as
compared with the present positions will thereby be effected, still the
station in the Waterloo-bridge-road is remote and inconvenient to the
larger proportion of travellers, and the evils now se justly complained
of will be far from completely obviated.
It is with the view of supplying this deficiency that the promoters
of the London Central Railway Terminus lay their project before the
public. They propose to provide means whereby the passenger car-
riages from every line in connexion with the metropolis, can be con-
veyed across the Thames to a general station erected in the imme-
liate vicinity of Charing-cross.
For this purpose plans have been prepared, which have received
the approval of the most eminent engineers, for carrying a double
line of rails over the river, adjoining the new Hungerford Suspension-
bridge, and supported by a simple and inexpensive addition to,the
present erections of that structure.

For the vast amount of traffic which will thus be brought to the
Middlesex side of the river, it is intended to provide a central station
of corresponding magnitude. The Company, therefore, purpose to
undertake the execution of part of the embankment, according to the
plan of the Oovernment for embanking the Thames, for the distance
lying between Waterloo and Hungerford-bridges, and over part of the
area thus obtained front the river, to erect a station of size sufficient
to supply the purposes of every separate railway, and furnished with
every requisite provision for the wants of the respective Companies
cud the convenience of their passengers. The property of the Com-
pany will extend through the whole frontage of the Adelphl-terrace,
the present buildings of which, as well as those to be hereafter
erected, will be admirably adapted for a series of splendid hotels.
. .

This project would have bean before the public at an earlier period,
but the projectors were desirous of obtaining the full concurrence of
leer Majesty's Commissioners for Metropolitan Improvements ; ang
they are now enabled to state, that the plans have been laid before
the Commissioners, and as far as relates to the embankment and
terminus, have met with their decided approval.
On the south side of the river the proposed railway will join the
several extension lines at their nearest point of approach to the
Thames and to each other, and thus will constitute a leader into the
heart of London for the Birmingham, South Western, Brighton, and
South Eastern lines, at present existing, as well as for the various
proposed lines through Kent, and to Richmond and Staines, which
will shortly be in course of construction. The Directors of several
of the above-mentioned Companies have already expressed their ap-
probation of the undertaking; but the advantages it offers are so
great and obvious thet there can be no doubt of the cordial co-opera-
tion of the managers and proprietors of the other lines, without ex-
ception.
The plan presents is features of difficulty, of involving the neces-
sity of any extraordinary expense. The ground to be occupied by
the station will. flrom its peculiar character, be obtainable at a cone.
paratively small cost; and from estimates carefully prepared it to
proved that a capital of 500,0001. will be sufficient for the accomplish.
meat of every purpose in contemplation. This capital it is proposed
to raise in 25,000 shares of 20/. each,
In order to favour the maltitndlnous travellers for short distances
out of London, the toll charged to passengers for any station short of
twenty miles will be less than that required from those bound on
More extended journeys, and who are more likely to be encumbered
with luggage. An average of 2d. has been assumed upon the whole
number eotltilated•
From the trains Warns of the railways no* completed, together
with the increase to be derived from the lines at present before Par-
liament, it is estimated that the annual number of arrivals and de-
partures of passengers from their London} termini, who will select the
Central kitation for their landing point, will amount to v500.p00 ;
the gross recetpta (rein whom, at a toll of Rd. each, will be 45,000/. per
annum. From this attioant 4 de4n4ion of 20 per cent. for working
expenses, &c. (including the rental to the TlPprtetars of Hengerford,
bridge), will be amply sufficient, as the Company will RO need
of locomotives, and therefore be freed from those items which oeca?
sloe the heaviest expenditure en other railways. This will leave a
net profit of 116,00191, per annum for the tolls alone. To this must be
added the profits Mat Will ha derived from the various wharfs and
buildings, and from the proposed pier for ptcam,boats, amounting on
the most moderate calculation to an annual rental of at least 16,0001.
With this addition, the total returns will amount to somewhat more
than 10 per cent. on the capital required. The completion of every
pm railway, and the opening of every extension line or feeder to the
exia,44; ic4,lmg, will produce a constant increase in the revenue of
the proposed tine, Anal prppliss to rnt;l it most rapidly to an impor-
tant rank as an Invest /PM .44 cap} n}.
The Provisional Committee have also taken into censideratioa a
plan for extending the proposed Embankment unit Pailwaifroin the
great Central Station to some point nearer the City, and are deeply
inwesseoel with the great public advantages derivable from such an
undertakiag. . . _
