TE necessity of affording Raiiway communication
between Birmingham and the adjacent Districts and
the Towns of Warwick, Leamington, and Banbury, has
called for the revival of a Line in connection with the Lon-
don and Birmingham and Midland Railways, from the
point of Junction between those Lines at Hampton-in-
Arden to Warwick and Leamington, for which Plans and
Sections were deposited by the Birmingham and Derby
Railway Company (now united with the Midland) in 1841
and 1812, with a continuation of such Line from War.
wick and Leamington to Banbury, where it will join the
intended Buckinghamshire Railway ; and in order to effect
a connection between Birmingham and the Midland
Railways and Stratford, Evesham, Cheltenham, and the
West by a Railway which will at the same time include
Warwick and Leamington in its course, it is proposed to
extend the Line from Warwick to Stratford-upon-Avon,
and thence down the Valley of the Avon to Evesham and
on to the Birmingham and Gloucester Railway, near
Ashchurch ; and a connecting Line between the main
Lines from Stratford-on-Avon to the neighbourhood of
Banbury will be added, with the view of giving the most
complete accommodation to the district in all directions.
These Lines of Railway wilrafford, by the Junction at
Hampton-in-Arden, the most direct communication be-
tween Birmingham and the whole of the North of Eng-
land and the Towns and Districts on the Midland Rail-
ways, with. the Towns of Warwick, Leamington, Ban-
bury, and the district traversed by the proposed Bucking-
hamshire Railway, as well as with Oxford and the South,
—at the same time Warwick and Leamington, and the
adjacent districts will be directly connected with Strat-
ford-on-Avon, Evesham, Cheltenham, and the West of
England.
The rejection, by the Legislature, of the London, Wor-
cester, and South Staffordshire project, has made some
modification necessary in the details of the original pro-
posal of this Railway, the objects of which, however,
remain essentially the same. Its importance is increased
by the proposal of the Buckinghamshire Railway (from
Banbury through that county to London), with which
its interests are so intimately connected.
These objects are considered of so much importance by
the Local interests that their full support has been obtained
for carrying them into effect.
The London and Birmingham and Midland Companies
unite in co-operation to insure the most effectual corn
pletion of the objects in view.
Careful surveys of the whole Country have been made,
under the direction of Mr. ROBERT STEPHENSON, and
application will he made to Parliament for an Act in the
next Session.
No further application for Shares can be received.
