It appears that England will be divided longitudinally by four great
lines of railway, which will become so many main trunks, intersec-
ing and intersected by numerous lines, both transverse and oblique,
opening rapid and ready communication with the 'uteri • ediate dis-
tricts, with packet stations, and with sea-port towns. The more
easterly of these, which is also the longest, originating at Newcastle-
upon- Tyne, and passing through York, Peterborough, and Gambridge,
may be said to terminate in London, whence all places are accessible.
The second line, counting westward, is more tortuous, and has also
a common northern terminus with tile preceding, by which its ad-
vantages are materially restricted. This line, descending the. Ere-
wash Vale, and passing through Rugby and Oxford, becomes a South-
ampton line by falling into the South-Western Railway at Basing-
stoke.
The third longitudinal line, or the most westerly, is still more de-
fective in design than the preceding; employing the steep and narrow
railway called the Birmingham and Gloucester as its first link, it
traverses nearly in a right line the least populous and most undulating
parts of Gloucester, Betts, Wilts, and Hants ; and, properly speaking,
has no independent terminus.
A large longitudinal section of the kingdom—the West Midland
district—a district inviting a similar species of accommodation from
concentrated local advantages, still remains unprovided with a chief
trunk line ; and it is contemplated to remedy this deficiency by the
present undertaking, or a fourth longitudinal line.
Adopting Birmingham as a northern terminus of the West Mid-
land, Manchester, and Southampton Railway, it is proposed to carry
a line through or near to Stratford-on-Avon, thence between Moreton,
Stow, Northleach, Fairford, Cricklade, and Swindon, where it will
merge in the South and Midlands' Junction Railway.
The length of the proposed line will be about sixty miles, and the
district traversed by it is gently undulating and densely peopled At
its southern terminus, Swindon, it becomes identical with tha. South
and Midlands, by means of which it opens a most direct communica-
tion hitherto suggested with the harbours of Weymouth, Christ-
church, Poole, and Sauthampton. At its northern terminus, Bir-
mingham, it communicates with a series of lines, projected, in pro-
gress, or completed, which will form the most direct line that can
ever be constructed between the southern ports of England and the
great manufacturing districts.

has shown this line to be the shortest between Southampton
