In consequence of the total want of system in the selection of rail-
ways in England, especially those emanating from the grand centre
of intercourse, London, there are many wealthy and populous dis-
tricts that are totally devoid of the benefits of railway conveyance.
t.4ucli, fur instance, is that between Relgate and Windsor—a country
unequalled in agricultural resources, and loaded with population, a
vast namber of whom are cosnected more er less with mercantile
pursuits, and, consequently, in frequent habit or necessity of rea4h-
ing inctropoiis market towns, ports, and manufacturing locali-
ties. These considerations, weighty in th emselves, but light in com-
parison with others, first gave rise to the present undertaking ; and
when it sis considered that this line of thirty miles will be the con-
necting link of five of the largest railways in England, through
wh.ch it will be fed by incalculable numbers, totally independent of
its exteesive local traffic, it must be evident to the most sceptical,
that it forms not only a desirable but an absolutely necessary artery
in the present system of railway communication.
There are many lines now in contemplation which will afford
additional prosperity to the Royal Grand Junction; among which
may be named the London and Portsm ouch Direct ; Epsom, Brighton,
and Arundel ; Reigate ant Reading ; London, btaMes, and Ascot;
Direct London and Exeter, &c.
The line is haunted to commence at the Reigate station of the
London and Brighton Railway, and passing through Reigate, Betch-
worth, and within a quarter of a mile of Dorking, will continue its
course along the picturesque vale of Mickleham, at the foot of Box-
hill and IN.;orbury, following as near as may be the river Mole to
Leatherhead ; after which it will pass through the parishes of
Fetehain ana•Stoke D'Abernon, an d at the back of Claremont, the
property of • his Majesty the King of the Belgians ; from thence near
Esher, Walton, and Weybridge, Chertsey, Thorpe, Egham, Ascot,
IVinlfor,.Eten, and Slough ; and terminating at the Slough station of
the U reat Western Railway.
hr addition to the many sources of income to be derived from the
conveyance of passengers, merchandise, and agricultural produce on
this line, and which has been estimate d at 15 per cent., it will afford
a direct and continuous railway Comm unteation for th accommoda-
OM of her Majesty and the Royal Family between Windsor, London,
Claremont, Portsmouth, and Brighton ; thus approximating one with
the other her Majesty's live favourite residences, and avoiding the
present inconvenient changes from the railway to the road, and
from one proprietary to another, it being proposed to lay down the
narrow gauge, that being adopted by four oat of five of the lines this
railway is designed to connect.
It is propcned to erect royal station-houses at'Windsor and Clare-
mont, for the use of her Majesty, and to make such deviations and
arrammments as shall meet the royal assent and approbation, as also
to lb'. ward the views of the Company.
May be as well to add, that the whole country has been care-
fully selected, so that no difficulties can interfere with the completion
of the line, and the land th rough which it will take its co e is, on
an average, considerably below the usual value of property ; and,
lastly, having obtained the sanction of the most influential proprietors
throughout the line, no opposition can be made or sustained against
the proinoters of the undertaking, who will use use every endeavour
.
to obtaki a Bill to incorporate the Company early in the next sea
Elm
