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 Rugby 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, Bicester.
and many other places at present without railway communication.
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 Caledonian
Railway to Glasgow and Edinburgh ; also from Crewe to Chester,
Birkenhead, and Holyhead, thus opening the most direct commun
ica-
tion with Dublin.

Wales, Waterford, and the south of Ireland, as well as by the Ox-
ford,
to all the central portion of Wales, thus forming the shortest
route to all Wales and Ireland.
The iengtn or this tine will nor exec... as 'MIPS, 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 to the above places, by saving about
fourteen miles in the transits to London, must be added that of con-
necting them with the South-Western and the Reading and Reigate
lines, affording passengers an opportunity of proceeding to South-
ampton, Portsmouth, Isle of Wight, Dover, Brighton, 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 formation of this
line will afford very great advantages to nearly all parts of England,
Scotland, Wales, and Ireland, as it will materially facilitate
ithre died-
livery of their many marketable products by opening
mantioetir

more direct route to London. It is not, thereforhe, 0

establishing a direct communication between those important places.
