The object of this undertaking is to form an unbroken link or
communication 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 of 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, commencing at Hert-
ford, (which has already a branch to the North-Eastern Railway),

will cross the London and Birmingham Railway, from thence to
Ricktnansworth, 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 Eghain, Chertsey, passing into the South Western
Railway at the Weybridge Station, approaching Cobham, Loather-
?Tuin M. Dorking, and terminating at Reigate, where it will form a
