The object of this undertaking la to form an unbroken link or
eomraunication 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 if making 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, eommeneing at Hert-
ford, (which has already a branch to the North-Eastern Railway),
continuing its coarse by Hatfield, St. Alban's, to Watford, where it
will MISS the London and Birmingham Railway, from thence to
Rielunansworth, 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
,1!•allwaY at the Weybridge Station, approaching Cobham, Leather-
!wad, Dorking, and terminating at Reigate, where it will forni a
!unction with the South-Eastern and London and Brighton Railways.

that the formation of this line is indispensable to meet the demands ;
and who have promised to g:ve this project their undivided support.
Government for a length of time have deemed it advisable to send
