In submitting this undertaking to the public, the promoters are
Influenced no less by a conviction of its importance as a direct con-
necting line between the important towns of Chichester and Ports-
mouth and the metropolis, than by its grand national importance In
affording a direct communication between the two great military and
naval arsenals of Great B itain —Portsmouth and Chatham.
The projected undertaking, by proceedin to facilities two termini at
Chichester and Portsmouth. will extend ho of communica-
tion with the coast branches of railways along the south of England,
connecting Its.-1f with Brighton to the eastward, and Southampton
towards the west. By the main line falling into the Brighton Rail-
way the advnntage of two termini in London will be secured—the
one at the Bricklayers' Arms, and the other at London .bridge—the
latter of which, from its proximity to the Custom House, and the
several docks on the Thames, is acknowledged to be the best position
for a London terminus for merchandise of all descriptions.
The line of railway intended to be constructed by this Company will commence at or near the Redhill station near Reigate, on the Lon-
don
and Brighton Railway, a distance of 21 miles from Londonbridge.
In its course to Portsmouth it will pass through or near Reigate
Newdigate, Capel, Ockley, Ewhurst, Rudgwick, Cranky, Alfold,
Billinghurst, Wisborough-green, Plaistow, Haslemere, Chkldingfold,
North Chapel, Kirdford, Petworth, Midhurst, Chilgrove, Stoughton,
Ration, Westbourue, and Emsworth, at or near which last .mentioned
place this pr :jetted line will join the Chichester and Portsmouth Rail-
way to Portsmouth.
At the earnest recommendation of some of the principal land-
owner., branches are proposed to be made to Godalming and Peters-
field. 'The branch to Godalming will be from a point in the main
line between l'histow and North Chapel ; and the branch from
retersfield will join the main line at a point between blidhurst and
]lepton. These extensions of this undertaking have rendered an in-
crease necessary in the amount of the capital originally fixed on ;
but from the increased accommodation which these branches will
afford, the promoters of the undertaking feel confident that a com-
mensurate profit will result to the shareholder.
A branch is proposed to he made from Dorking to join the main
line at or near Capel.
By this course the:entire distance to travel beooen.. 12011.(1011 and.
