Originating at Bicester, by a junction with the Oxford and Cam-
bridge line through Wolverton, in connexion with the Eastern Coun-
ties, the South and Midlands Junction will afford facility of inter-
coarse with the metropolis in one direction, with Stafford, the Pet-
teries, Birmingham, Liverpool, and Manchester in the other ; near
Woodstick, close to which the projected line will pass, the Oxford
and Rugby and Oxford and Worcester Railways cross, presenting
Ipportunities of entering the two great railway arteries of the king-
dom—the Great Western and the Lcndon and Birmingham, the for-
mer at Dudcot, the latter at Rugby.
Proceeding to the manufacturing town of Witney, a line is crossed
communicating with the Stroudwater district of manufactures by the
Oxford and Cheltenham Railway, thence the projected line trends di-
rectly S.W., leaving Bampton to the east, until It reaches Lechlade,
a town seated at the atilux of the Thames and Severn navigation
with the River Thames, and where a considerable entrepot for mer-
chandise is established.

Keeping within easy distances of Farringden, Cricklade, and High-
worth, tt reaches Swindon, a rapidly improving vicinity. At this
principal station, where the broad gauge is crossed, the Gloucester
and Cheltenham line falls into the Great Western.
The intersection of the South and Midland Junction with the Great
Western at Swindon opens a most extensive and valuable communi-
cation with Louden eastward; Bristol, Bath, Gloucester, Chelten-
ham, Stroud, westward and, by the Gloucester and Aberystwith
projected line, with the whole of North and South Wales.
