The iinmecliate object of this line 1;.to. 'advantages of a
railway to a. rich and populous district of the county of Hants,
hitherto without facility of access to the port of Southampton or to
London.
It will extend from Southampton by or near Durley and the town
of Bishop's Waltham, thence withia a short distance of llambledon,
West Meon, and East Meon to the borough of Petersfleld.
A reference to the map will show that the undertaking is entitled
o support on much more extensive and national grounds tr.,
Opening a railway communication between Southampton as
and
Petersfield.
By a junction with the projected Direct Portsmouth line from Lon-
dr n, which passes through Petersfleld, this railway would afford the
b st and most direct communication between London and Southamp-
b n, besides has ing the great advantage of a City terminus ; or should
it be thought advisable to give the towns of Guildford, Godalming,
al d Haslemere direct railway communication to Southampton, an
et.tension Of this line to Godalming would afford another line, shorter
by several miles than the existing railway.
The projected railway from Brighton to Cheltenham passes through
retersileld, should that line receive Parliamentary sanction, another
