Provisional Committee Plans Brighton Lewes Line Project
A London Provisional Committee led by Lancelot Archer-Burton and Joao Baogshaw advances a railway venture linking Brighton Lewes and Lewes with a Dover Line alternative. The plan seeks a direct, gradual gradient route, utilizing existing lines where possible, and central Brighton terminus at the Great Northern Entrance. It outlines favorable extensions toward Shoreham and Newhaven, with public share offers limited to avoid overextension, and invites applications to the South Eastern Railway Office for details.
