This railway will form, as nearly as may be practicable, a direct
liee from Reading, in Berkshire—one of the ost important and
rs; idly improving towns in the kingdom—to the large and populous
Conn of Northampton, where it will form a junction with the
Northampton and Peterborough Railway
7 he line will proceed from the Reading station of the Great Western
Itailway, and by the way of Henley-on-Thames, Great Marlow,
'lest Wycombe, Aylesbury, and Buckingham, through some of the
eh hest and most fertile districts of England, from whence vast
- plates of live stock and agricultural produce are constantly fur-
:shed to the metropolis; and from Buckingham it will be continued
ect to Blisworth and Northampton.
From Blisworth a line proceeds to Wellingborough, and forms a
O ction with the Direct Manchester Itanwa, ; and it is intended
t a branch shall be formed from West Wycombo to the station at
aa; ugh, on the Great Western Railway
The proposed line with the branch will be about seventy-five miles
length, and it has been asc,rtained that it may be constructed
th unusual facility, whilst, by means of the intended junctions with
; e Great Western Railway at Slough and Reading, with the London
~r.,1 Birmingham Railway at Ellsworth, and the Direct Manchester
H. Tray at Wellingborough, an uninterrupted and most desirable
way communication will be opened between Portsmouth, Goa_
the Isle of Wight, Southatnpton, Bedford, Huntingdon, i
c
:r9rdshire Potteries, Birmingham, Derby, Leicester, Manchester,
t.i erpooi, Leeds, Newcastle and Berwick, and with the great menu-
. c nring and mining districts of the north of England.
%he numerous parishes and districts which will be traversed by the
e comprise a population of nearly 1,500,000 persons, amid passim.,

The London and Birmingham
