The object of this ainlertaking is to form an unbroken link or com-
munication with all the existing railways, by which means more
particularly the western, southern, eastern, south-eastern, and south-
western parts of the kingdom may be traversed from the northern
districts, -without the necessity of making the metropolis a resting-
place Otiher for passengers or goods, and thus obviating considerable
expelise and great loss of time.
The length of them ale line will be 62 miles, commencing at Hert-
font (which has already a branch to the North-Eastern Railway),
oentinuing its course by Hatfield, St. Alban's, to Watford, where it
will cross the- London and Birmingham Railway, from thence to
itickmansworth, Uxbridge, and West Drayton, where it will pass
under the Great Western Railway, proceeding by Colnbrook (having
a branch to Windsor from the main line at Horton), cross the Thames
e.t Staines to Egham, Chertsey, passing into the South-Western Rail-
way at the Weybridge station, approaching Cobham, Leatherhead,
Dorking, and terminating at Reigate, where it will form a junction
with tie South-Eastern and London and Brightou Railways.
As the project develops itself the mu t cheering patronage is
manifest from isfluerftial landowners and other proprietors, declaring
that the formation of this line is indispensable to meet the demands
or exigencies of several counties, and who have promised to give this
project raelr 'undivided support.
