This railway will form, as nearly as may be practicable, a direct
~ne from Reading, in Berkshire—one of the ost important and
ra:aidly improving towns in the kingdom—to the large and populous
town of Northampton, where it will form a junction with the
Northampton and Peterborough Railway
The line will proceed from..the Reading station of the Great Western
Railway, and by the way of Henley-on-Thames, Great Mallow,
West Wycombe, Aylesbury, and Buckingham, through some of the
richest and most 'fertile districts of England, from whence vast
supplies of live stock and agricultnral produce are constantly fur-
nished to the metropolis ; and from Buckingham It will be continued
direct to Blisworth and Northampton.
From Blisworth a line proceeds to Wellingborough, and forms I
Junction with the Direct Manchester Railway ; and it is intended
that a branch shall be formed from West Wycombe to the station at
Slough, on the Great Western Railway
The proposed line with the branch will be about seventy-five miles
in length, and it has been ascertained that it may be constructed
with unusual facility, whilst, by means of the intended junctions with
the Great Western Railway at Slough and Reading, with the London
and Birmingham Railway at Blisworth, and the Direct Manchester
Railway at Wellingborough, an uninterrupted and most desirable
railway communication will be opened between Portsmouth, dos-
port, the Isle of Wight, Southampton, Bedford, Huntingdon, the
Staffordshire Potteries, Birmingham, Derby, Leicester, Manchester,
Liverpool, Leeds, Newcastle and Berwick, and with the great manu,
facturing and mining districts of the north of England.
The numerous parishes and districts which will be traversed by the
line comprise a population of nearly 1,500,000 persons, and passing,
as it will, a portion of the counties of Berks and Oxford, the whole
of Buckinghamshire, and by the celebrated Vale of Aylesbury, and
uniting with the several completed or projected railways under-
mentioned, viz.:—
The London and Birmingham
The Great Western
The Southampton Union
The South Wdland •
The Midland Counties
The Northampton and Leicester
The Northampton and Peterborough, and thus witit
The Direct Manchester
it cannot bo doubted that it must prove extremely convenient and
beneficial to the public, and highly advantageous to the proprietors.
The liability of the shareholders will be restricted by Act of Par-
Hainaut to the amount of their subscriptiot,s, and power will be ap-
plied for in the Bill to allow interest at 4 per cent. per annum on all
calls, front the passing of the Act until the opening of the line.
Arrangements have been made that the survey shall be completed,
and the plans and sections deposited in time for obtaining an Act
during the ensuing session of Parliament.
