The London and South-Western Railway propose to construct a railway about quarter of a mile long, to commence junction with the main line just westward of the Royal Freemasons' School, Wandsworth Common, and terminating a junction with the Richmond Railway at Clapham Junction station. It will pass under a public footpath leading to Plough-lane, and under Wandsworth-road, at a depth of sixteen feet two inches below the roadway. The scheme includes the widening on both sides of the railway the north side from Barnes station to Clapham Junction, and on the south from Barnes station to within a distance of about five hundred feet west of Putney station. The widening on the south side will continued from point about five hundred feet east of Putney station to near the crossing York-road Wandsworth station. The proposed railway and widonings will cross over the Board's main low level sewer in Wandsworth-lane, and again at York-road, Wandsworth; the Putney boundary sewer, near Oxford-road, Putney; and many local sewers. The Wandsworth District Board will oppose this bill, with the view of obtaining the insertion of certain clauses, whichjthoy consider to important in the interests of the inhabitants. By the South-Western and City Junction Railway there arc proposed to he four short lengths of railway to form junctions with the South-Western Railway - viz. (1), connecting the main line at Waterloo station; (2) connecting the new suburban railway; (:j) connecting the main line at Westminster Bridge-road, and (4) connecting the Richmond and Windsor Railway at Waterloo Bridge Station. These four railway junctions will converge to point where Windmill-street crosses Wootton-street; they will then carried on by a continuous lino of rails, crossing over the river Thames at about 1,700 feet westward of Southwark Bridge, and terminate at a short distance south of Cannon-street. The bridge to constructed to carry the railway over the river Thames is to be of three spans. The Surrey arch is to feet span, and 2G feet headway above Trinity high water mark; the centre span 230 feet, and headway feet; and the Middlesex span 200 feet, and headway 26 feet. Prom the river Thames the railway will continued towards Cannon-street, but stopping short of it by about 130 feet. There will also be a railway to connect the proposed railway at the crossing of Blackfriars-road with the* London, Chatham, and Dover Railway at the southern end of the bridge which carries that railway over the river Thames: and a junction with the proposed railway at Sumncrstrect to connect the London, Chatham, and Dover Railway at the bridge which carries that railway over the South-Eastern lino.
