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 will proceed to, and terminate
at ,Epsom.
The towns and places through which the line passes, or most imme-
diately affects, contain an aggregate population of abont 200,000
persons.

By means also of this line, and the Croydon and Epsom line (now
in course of construction), all
are likewise connected with Croydon.
The importance of connecting two such towns as Uxbridge and
Brentford with Kingston, Croydon, and Epsom, three of -the largest
market-towns in Surrey, between which the present agricultural traffic
1 is extensive, is too obvious to require comment. A glance at the map
will at once show that the communication now proposed is not only
judicious, but, in order to satisfy the requirements of the important
and populous district involved, is actually imperative. It will afford
to Uxbridge and the. towns in Hertfordshire north of it, with which
it will be connected by proposed new lines, direct transit to the Great
Western, Southampton, and Portsmouth Railways, and by the
established lines, southward,. to Shoreham, Brighton, Dover,
Ramsgate, and all the south and south-eastern parte of the
