SECRETARY
E. Clayton, Esq.
IHE Directors have the satisfaction to announce, tha
the Plans and Books of Reference for the Line, be
tween London and Oxford, required by the Standing Or
ders of both Houses of Parliament, are in such a state of
forwardness; that the Shareholders may rely upon their
being deposited in due time for application to Parliament
in the ensuing Session.
The Directors, after mature deliberation, and in the ex-
ercise of the powers vested in them by the Company's
Deed, have determined to confine their application to a
Line from London to Oxford only, with a ,Branch to
Thame. They have been induced to adopt this course,
conceiving that the ground beyond Oxford has been vir-
tually conceded to the Great Western Railway Company,
in consequence of the Oxford, Worcester, and Wolver-
hampton Railway having, contrary to general e-,zpectation,
received the sanction of Parliament since this ,Line was
first brought before the Public ; a contest, therefore, for
such grourd would only involve heavy and useless expen-
diture, without any prospect of a favourable result.
The Line which the Directors have now determined to
apply for, is one which is universally admitted to be re.
quired for the convenipnce of the Inhabitants of the
Counties of Oxford and Buckingham, and for jhe accom-
modation of that Traffic which will be concentrated at
Oxford by the Cheltenham, Worcester, Birmingham, and
Rugby Lines, and which this Line will convey to London
by a route ten miles shorter than any one now existing.
The Traffic Tables show that there will be a large remu-
neration for the Capital proposed to be expended ; and
there is every reason to believe, that in this, as in all
other instances. when Railway accommodation is supplied,
the Traffic which in former years passed between Oxford
and the Metropolis, and through the Towns along this
Line, now wholly unprovided with railway communica-
tion, will be very materially increased by the greater fa-
cility thus afforded.
