The great importance of the above line of railway, not elite edlul
64 miles in length, will he immediately seen by referring to the man.
It commences at the Farnborough station of the South-Westernßell-
way, crossing the Great Western Rae between Slough and Maiden-
lievd, and terminates on the Oxford and Rugby line of railway at
lievforti, beyond Oxford, on the route to Biriningharn, accommo-
dating in its course, Bracknell, Sunning-hill, Bagsbot, Ascot, Windsor,
Great Marlowdligh 'Wycombe, Princes Itisborough. Theme, liticester,
and many other places at present without railway connunuication.
It will tiirm the most direct nests from London to Banbury, War-
wick, and Birmingham, and by the Grand Junction Railway to Man-
chester, Liverpool, Lancaster, and Carlisle, and by the Caledonian
Railway to Glasgow and Edinburgh ; also from Crewe to Chester,
Birkenhead, and Holyhead, thus opening the most direct cominnnica-
u
tion with Dublin.
It will also by the branch to Woodstock, iu connexion with
Cheltenhamthe Cheltenham and Oxford line, form the most direct route Routh
to So
Wales, Waterford, and the south of Ireland, as well an by the ().„
ford, Worcester, and Wolverhampton line to Worcester, and conse-
quently to all the central portion of Wales, thus forming the shortest
route to all Wales and Ireland.
Tile lentil of this line will not exceed 64 miles, and it will save an
average distance of 14 miles to each of the, before-mentioned places,
as compared with the route now traverse,, by the
Great Restart
Railway. It is satisfactory to state that there are no engineering
difficulties, and that the land is the least valuable of any in the coun-
ties through which this line is intended to
papa, avoiding, as it dons,
parks anti ornamental property.
To the advantages offered to the above places, by wring
tome

necting them with the South-Western aiiiti, the Reading and ite,
