Great Western Railway bill debate in Parliament turns on completion
In the House of Commons the Great Western Railway Bill faced heavy opposition over its London to Bath to Bristol route. MPs debated private property impacts, completion guarantees, and the bill’s scope, with supporters arguing public benefit and opponents citing partial construction and land takings. The bill passed second reading by a large majority and was sent to a select committee.
