RICHMOND and .WEST-END JUNCTION
RAILWAY.
The COMMITTEE of this RAILWAY are happy to announceithat
the Board of Trade have declared their intention to report to Parlia-
ment in favour of the undertaking, as well as of the Staines and
Richmond Junction, and the Metropolitan Extensien of the South
Won, rn Rahway. Thus the Richmond Company will have access
ro an excellent terminus in the metropolis, and also derive a large
additional amount of traffic from the line to Statues.
Active negotiations are in progress with the landowners and hold-
ers of property en the 'l.ue for the purchase of the ground necessary
fur the purposes of the railway; and in far the majority of cases a
highly satisfactory prospect exists of the respective treaties being con-
cluded upon fair and amicable terms.
By an agreement entered into with the Directors of the Fouth-
Western Company, the execut on of the most expensive portion of th
line originally adopted_by- the Richmond will be transferred to the
aforesaid ('ompany ; who hive also agreed to furnish the locomotives,
carriages, and working plant of the railway.
The terminus of the line will be that selected by the South,Western
Company for their metropolitan extension, 'lamely, a point situate in
immediate proximity to the entrance of the Hungerford Suspension
Bridge, on the Surrey side.
The easy nature of the works to be accomplished on their part of
the line, which presents no features whatever that can occasion
culty or delay in their construction, has enabled the Committee to
enter into arrangements, by which the completion of the Whore line
will be effected within the period of ten months after the Act shall
have been obtained.
