Description: The proposed new London, Newbury and Bath (Direct) Railway main line into Bath Spa G.W.R. station. It would have run parallel to the Great Western Railway line through Bathwick and Widcombe and over the line of the Kennet and Avon Canal at various locations (one of which would involve lowering the canal), but the bill failed to get through the House of Commons in 1846. This diagram shows the various crossing points of rivers and streets and the planned bridges. The datum line is to G.W.R. rails at Bath Spa Station.
