Total distance from London to Portsmouth ••••• • .. • • 73 miles.
From Chilgrove a line of seven miles will be constructed, and
which will place Chichester in direct communication with London.
The distance between Chichester and London by this route will be
0 miles.
Trains will run direct between London and Chichester, without
stopping at Chilgrove.
Inasmuch as the existing line of railway to Dover branches off
fern the London and Brighton Railroad at Reigate, this projected
lbw will open up a communication by railroad between Portsmouth
and Dover.
From an inspection of the map, it will be seen that the Redhill
station, near Reigate, lies nearly in a direct line between Ports-
mouth and Chatham, and in pursuing the line of communication
to the last-mentioned naval and militai y depot, this line will pass
through or near to the towns of Bletchingley, Godston, Limpsfield,
Westerham, Seven Oaks, Ightham, Town Mailing, Wrotham, Off-
ham, Snodland, Lower Hailing, and Weuldham.
The distance between Chatham and Reigate will involve the
making of 31 miles of railroad, and the line of railroad between
Portsmouth and Chatham will extent over 52 miles.
To the naval and military establishments 'of this kingdom the
construction of this projected line will afford the most important fa-
cilities in the transit of troops, stores, baggage, &c. &c., diminishing
the tardy course of communication which at present necessarily
exists between Portsmouth and Chatham, at present usually extend-
ing over the space of two days, and placing them in that direct corn-
munication with each other which, in two hours, or thereabout,
will enable the journey between them to be made.
The formation of a direct line of railway between Portsmouth
and Chatham will afford the opportunity of establishing, by the
electric telegraph, that celerity of communication so important to be
obtained between places of national importance.
The warm support of the principal landowners on the seater part
of the line is pledged tO this undertaking.
The Previsional Committee abstain from making any special re-
ference to the contemplated profit to result from carrying into effect
this undertaking, feeling convinced that the extent of traffic through
the populous and rich districts over which this line and its branches
are projected to pass is sufficiently known, and is decisive of the
Inutility of all comment in that respect.
