There are seven other railroads now projected; viz. 1st, the London, and Birmingham, and Liverpool, called the Midland railway; 2d, the London and Greenwich, which has been since designed to Dover, now called the Eastern railway; 3d, the London and Southampton railway; 4th, the London, Bath, and Bristol, called the Great Western railway; 5th, the London and Brighton railway; 6th, the Grand Southern railway, from London to Horsham, Arundel, Portsmouth, and Southampton, and from Horsham to Shoreham and Brighton; 7th, the Grand Northern railway, from London to York, with several branches to Norwich, Nottingham, Sheffield, Leeds, Hull, &c.
