Metropolitan and Regent Circus Railway.
Notices were issued, and Plans and Bills deposited during the year,
for the formation of a line of Railway, extending from Regent Circus,
Piccadilly, to a Junction with the Metropolitan Railway, in Farringdon
Road.
It was proposed to be formed entirely beneath the Street surface,
and to follow the line of the new Street, authorized to be formed by the
Metropolitan Board of Works, from Regent Circus to Moor Street,
(where it would enter the St. Giles District,) thence beneath Dudley
Street, which is to be widened, to Broad Street:— from Broad Street
beneath the new Street, which is to be formed, to Oxford Street, near
to Duke Street; and thence beneath Hart Street to Orange Street
(where it would leave the St. Giles District), and be continued beneath
Theobald's Road, King's Road, Liquorpond Street, &c., to Farringdon
Road.
The interests of the Board and of the inhabitants of the District
not being in your opinion sufficiently provided for in the Bill, your
Board resolved to petition against it, which was accordingly done.
The Bill passed the Standing Orders of the House of Commons, but
was subsequently abandoned by the promoters.
The following is a list of the Contracts entered into by the Board, and in force, up to the 25th day of March, 1878:
| Name and Address of Contractors. | Nature of Contract. | Term of Contract. |

Your obedient Servant,
