This Railway will establish a most desirable line of communication
between London, Dover, Salisbury, Yeovil, and the West of England,
traversing in its course many wealthy, populous, and important
districts.

It will commence at the Reigate-station on the Dover and Brighton
Railways, and pass by Dorking and Guildford to Basingstoke. From
thence it will proceed by Whitchurch, Andover, and Salisbury, to
Yeovil. By whichmeans the connexion between the East and West
Coasts of England will be complete.
A further and most important feature of the undertaking is, that
by using the line of the South Western Railway from London to
Basingstoke, it will bring Salisbury and Yeovil into an entirely direct
line of communication with the Metropolis. The distance from
London to Salisbury will be about 80 miles, anl to Yeovil 120 miles.
It will also unite four of the principal Railways in the kingdom ;
viz., the Dover, Brighton, South-Western, and Great Western, and at
the same time will most materially aid communication between the
ports of Dover, Shoreham, Portsmouth, Southampton and Bristol, a
most desirable object in a national point of view.
A reference to the accompanying map will manifestly prove that
few Railways in the kingdom wal form a medium of communication
with a greater aggregate of wealthy, populous, and important places.
By it, Salisbury, Sherborne, Yeovil, Bath and Bristol, Bradford,
Trowbridge, Frome, Guildford, Farnham, Basingstoke, 'Whitchurch,
Andover, Weyhilt with its extensive fair, Shaftesbury, liilborne Port,
Staibridge, and I lehesterovith the numerous smaller towns and villages
in their vicinity, will be brought into immediate connexion with each
other, rendering the undertaking, eminently calculated to promote the
convenience of the public, and certain to yield a large return to its
proprietors.
The country to be traversed will, as has been ascertained from ac-
tual surveys, admit of the construction of the Railway at a moderate
cost. The portions yet to be formed will comprise the country be-
tween Reigate and Salisbury, about 76 miles (less about 11 miles
proposed to be used of the South Western Railway), and tliat between
Salisbury and Yeovil about 40 miles, making the entire length of the
line yet to be constructed no more than 105 miles.
