The whole of the traffic (whether of passengers or goods) from the
north to the south of England now passes through the streets of
London. No railway has yet been projected to avoid this course, so
obviously inconvenient to the passenger, and so enormously expen-
sive to the carrier.
The Tring and Reigate Railway will afford accommodation to the
manufacturing districts of Manchester, Leeds, Sheffield, and Binning-
ham, and iplace them in direct communication with the southern
ports (from Dover to Southampten) and France, at a sawing of ten
miles, of which four consist of the streets of Loudon, and effectually
connect the several stations of the l)over, Brighton, South-Western,
Great Western, and Birmingham Railways, without causing the
ruinous expense attendant upon all schemes for joining their present
tennini in London.
The importance of a direct communication between the coal Odds
and manufacturing districts of Birmingham, the midland counties,
and the north with the southern coast, extending, at the least, from
Dover to Southampton, need not be dwelt upon. A new line of no
less than 137 1A miles has just been projected to connect Birmingham
and Brighton alone. The Tring and Reigate will be forty-four miles.
The course of this line is as follows :—Leaving the London and Bir-
mingham Railway at Tring, it will pass throughChesham,Amershani,
Beaconsfield, to Slough, on the Great Western Railway ; through
Upton, Datchet, Egham, Staines, and Chertsey, it will reach the
South-Western Railway at Weybridge ; thence through Cobham and
Leatherhead, it will pass near Dorking to the Reigate station of the
Dover and Brighton Railways; thus intersecting four trunk rail-
ways at first class stations.
The intermediate traffic may be stated as follows :—From Wen•
dover to Slough it will command the traffic to Dondon and the Weal
of England by its junction m;th the Great Western Railway ; it will
afford to Windsor a direct communication to the Isle of Wight by
way of the South-Wester,; to Brighton and Dover by way of Rei-
gate ; and to all the railways of the north by way of Tring ; awl it
will pass, as before stated, through the populous districts of Egham,
Staines, Chertsey, Cobham, and Dorking, to the Reigate station by
way of Epsom.
It may be fairly stated that this railway, far from injuring any
existing line, will greatly benefit every one that it touches, and that
opening, as it will do, a direct communication to the northern and
midland counties with Brighton, and affording to Windsor the com-
mand of all the railways in the kingdom, must be successful.
To persons conversant with railway affairs, a glance at any railway
map will convey more convincing information as to its merits than
the most elaborate prospectus.
Until an Act of Parliament shall be obtained, the affairs of the
Company shall be under the control of the Committee of Manage-
ment, who are empowered to enter into such
to rise gements

best serve the interests of the Company, and additional

To the Provisional Committee of the Tring and Reigate Railway.
Gentlemen,—I have the honour :to report to you that I have mi-
nutely:examined the country lying between Tring and litigate for
the proposed " Tring and Reigate Railway."
The ground from the Reigate station on the South-Eastern Rail-
way, via litigate to Leatherhead, is the only difficult portion of the
line ; some tunnelling and cutting being required, after which, by
Cobham, .Chertsey, Staines., Datchet, Upton, Slough, Farnham Royal,
Beaeensileld, Amersham, and Chesham, to or near the Tring station,
the country is of a nature most favourable for the construction of a
railway.
I consider the route here petaled out for the " Tring and Reigate
Railway," not only a most excellent one as referring to the con-
