The great importance of the above line of railway, not exceeding
64 miles in length, will be immediately seen by referring to the map.
It commences at the Farnborough station of the South-Western Rail-
way, crossing the Great Western line between Slough and Maiden-
head, and terminates on the Oxford and Rngby line of railway at
Heyford, beyond Oxford, on the route'to Birmingham, accommo-
dating in its course, Bracknell, Sunning-hill,Bagshot, Ascot, Windsor,
Great Marlow, High Wycombe, Princes Risborough, Theme,
liicester, and many other places at present without railway com-
munication.
It will form the most direct route from London to Banbury, War-
wick, and Birmingham, and by the Grand Junction Railway to Man-
chester, Liverpool, Lancaster, and Carlisle, and by the Caledonia*
Railway to Glasgow and Edinburgh ; also from Crewe to Chester,
Birkenhead, and Holyhead, thus opening the most direct communica-
tion with Dublin.
It will also by the branch to Oxford, in connexion with the
Cheltenham and Oxford line, form the most direct route to South
Wales, Waterford, and the south of Ireland, as well as by the Ox-
ford, Worcester, and Wolverhampton line to Worcester, ani conse-
quently to all the central portion of Wales, thus forming the shortest
route to all Wales and Ireland.
The length 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 traversed by the Great Western
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 pass, avoiding, as it does,
parks and ornamental property.
To the advantages offered te the above places, by saving about
fourteen miles in the transits to London, must be added that of cell-
fleeting them with the South-Western and the Reading and Reigate
lines, affording passengers an opportunity of proceeding te Sontb-
ampton, Portsmouth, Isle of Wight, Dover, Brighten, and all adja-
cent places, without the necessity of passing through the metropolis,
thereby saving much time and inconvenience.
It will be seen from the foregoing facts that the fermatien of this
line will afford very great advantages to nearly all parts of England,
Scotland, Wales, and Ireland, as it will materially facilitate the de-
livery of their many marketable products by opening another and
more direct route to London. It is not, therefore, too much t• ex-
pect that, independently of a great local traffic, there will be also an
immense through traffic brought on this line, which must pay at
least 10 per cent. on the capital required. This is manifest, as the
construction of the line will not cost 20,0001. per mile, while the
London and Birmingham Railway cost 53,0001. per mile, upon which
enormous outlay it continues to ray 15 per cent.
Shareholders in the Grand Junction, Great Western, South
Western, Oxford and Rugby, Oxford, Worcester, and Wolverhamp-
ton, and Birmingham and Oxford Junction Railways will have a pre-
ference in the allotment of shares after parties locally interested.
The deeds will provide that no call shall be made on the share-
holders beyond the deposit now paid, until the Act of Parliament
shall be obtained ; and power will be taken in the Act to allow four
per cent. interest on all calls until the line be completed, which,
from the nature of the ground to be gone over, is not expected to
exceed two years.
The Committee have decided, in compliance with the suggestions
of landowners of great influence, to form branches from the Thame
station on the proposed main line to Oxford and Aylesbury, thereby
establishing a direct communication between those important
places.
Application tbr shares may be made, in the annexed form, to the
following sharehrekers :—London : Mr. W. West, Capel-court ;
Mr. Benjamin Rankin, Tokenhouse-yard ; Mr. M. L. Pritchard,

GRAND JUNCTION, GREAT WESTERN,
and SOUTH-WESTERN RAILWAY JUNCTION.—At a
Public Meeting of the Inhabitants of Bicester, held Oct. 3, 1845,
the following Resolutions were passed :
" That a line of Railway through Bicester, connecting that town
with the Great Western line at Slough, and the Oxford and Rugby
line at Hayford, is, in the opinion of this meeting, highly desirable,
and would tend greatly to benefit the town and its vicinity."
" That the line of railway to be called the Grand Junction, Great
Western, and South-Western Railway Junction, appears to this
meeting the most comprehensive scheme, and as affording to the
town of Bicester and its neighbourhood every facility required. This
meeting cordially co-operates with the Provisional Committee of tho
above Railway."
