l'he – Chief difficulty--and it is a grave one—about Sir Henry Cautley's
Report, is that it may Mean considerable further delay. The Southern' Railway Company 'co- operated with the London County Council only on the understanding that it should choose its own site for the new .station. The Company may now say that its passengers must not be coinpelled to end a journey further away from their old and familiar Charing Cross station than is absolutely necessary. But really it is a matter of only .a few hundred yards. We trust that the London County Cin.incil and the Company and the' Ministry of Transport will quickly -come to some agreement. There is an oiniortunity- for by' far the best piece of town- planing in London that has ever been achieved. There must be no mistake.. It does not seem beyond the range –of goodwill and Wit to avoid all mistakes without wasting too much time.
