This Railway will establish a most desirable line of conununication
between Dover, Salisbury, Yeovil, and Bristol, traversing in its course
many wealthy, populous, and important districts.
It will commence at the Reigate-station on the Dover and Brighton
Railways, and pass by Dorking and Guildford to Basingstoke. From
thence it will proceed by Whitchurch, Andover, and Salisbury, to
Yeovil. By means of it and of the intended line between Bath
and Salisbury (now in Parliament) the connexion between Dover
and Bristol and the East and West Coasts of England will be
complete.

A further and most important feature of the undertaking is, that,
by the aid of the South Western Railway, it will bring Salisbury and
Yeovil into an entirely direct line of communication with the Me-
tropolis. The distance from London to Salisbury will be about 80
miles, and to Yeovil 120 miles.

It will also unite four of the principal Railways in the kingdom ;
viz., the Dover, Brighton, South-Western, and Great Western, and at
the same time will bring into direct communication with each other
the ports of Dover, Shoreham, Portsmouth, Southampton and Bris-
tol, a most desirable object in a national point of view.
A reference to the accompanying map will manifestly prove that
an immense traffic must flow to the line, and that, in fact, no other
Railway in the kingdom will form a medium of communication with
a greater aggregate of wealthy, populous, and important places.
By it, Salisbury, Yeovil, Bath and Bristol, Bradford, Trowbridge,
Frome, Guildford, Farnham, Basingstoke, Whitc.hurch, Andover,
Weyhill with its extensive fair, Shaftesbury, Milborne Port, Stal-
bridge, and Ilchester, with the numerous smaller towns and villages
in their vicinity, will be brought into immediate connexion with each
other, rendering the undertaking eminently calculated to promote the
convenience of the public, and certain to yield a large return to its
proprietors.
The country to be traversed will, as has been ascertained from ac-
tual surveys, admit of the construction of the Railway at a moderate
cost. The portions yet to be formed will comprise the country be-
tween Reigate and Salisbury, about 76 miles (less about 11 miles
proposed to he used of the South Western Railway), and that between
Salisbury and Yeovil about 40 miles, 'making the entire length of the
line yet to be constructed not more than 105 miles.
