This railway is proposed to commence at Uxbridge, proceeding
thence to the Southall Station of the Great Western Railway, and
then through Heston to Hounslow, there meeting one of the proposed
lines to Hounslow from London. Leaving Hounslow the line pro-
ceeds through Whitton, Twickenham, Teddington, and Hampton,
to Kingston, and, crossing the Thames, joins the Kingston station of
the South-Western Railway, whence it'svill proceed to, and terminate
at ,Epsom.

Tile importance of connecting two such towns as Uxbridge and

market-towns in Surrey, between which the present agricultural tragic

judicious, but, in order to satisfy the requirements of the important
