The object of this undertaking is to form an unbroken link or
communication 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 makinz the metropolis
a resting-place either for passengers or goods : and thus obviating
considerable expense and great loss of time.

The length of the main line will be 62 miles, commencing at Hert-
ford, (which has already a branch to the North-Eastern Railway),
eontin ing its coarse by Hatfield, St. Alban's, to Watford, where it
will cross the London and Birmingham Railway, from thence to
Rickmansworth, 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
at Staines, to Egham, Chertsey, passing into the South Western
Railway at the Weybridge Station, approaching Cobham, Loather-
head, Dorking, end terminating at Reigate, where it will form a
junction with the South-Eastern and London and Brighton Railways.
The great distance from each other of the various termini of rail-
ways in London, has for a length of time occupied the attention of
of the
property
and of the interested Companies ; but the great value
