Worcester and Broom Railway (Abandonment) Act 1894
9.187 The Worcester and Broom Railway (Abandonment) Act 1894 370 was passed to
authorise the Worcester and Broom Railway Company to abandon a proposed
railway from Worcester to Broom (Warwickshire). The railway had been
authorised by the Worcester and Broom Railway Act 1885. 371 The abandonment
of the railway project, together with the dissolution of the company pursuant to
the 1894 Act, means that the 1894 Act itself has now become obsolete.
Brighton Rottingdean and Newhaven Direct Railway (Abandonment) Act
1894
9.188 The Brighton Rottingdean and Newhaven Direct Railway (Abandonment) Act
1894 372 was passed to authorise the Brighton Rottingdean and Newhaven Direct
Railway Company to abandon a proposed railway in East Sussex. The railway
had been authorised by the Brighton Rottingdean and Newhaven Direct Railway
Act 1886. 373 The abandonment of the railway project, together with the dissolution
of the company pursuant to the 1894 Act, means that the 1894 Act itself has now
become obsolete.
Metropolitan Outer Circle Railway (Abandonment) Act 1895
9.189 The Metropolitan Outer Circle Railway (Abandonment) Act 1895 374 was passed to
authorise the Metropolitan Outer Circle Railway Company to abandon a proposed
railway in London from Ealing to Tottenham. 375 The railway had been authorised
by the Metropolitan Outer Circle Railway Act 1888. 376 Lack of available finance,
however, had made it impossible to construct the railway. The abandonment of
the railway project, together with the dissolution of the company pursuant to the
1895 Act, means that the 1895 Act itself has now become obsolete.

375 Although similar in some respects to the abortive plans to build a railway some years
earlier (see the repeal proposal above on the Metropolitan Outer Circle Railway
(Abandonment) Act 1885), the two projects were run by different promoters and using
different statutory powers.
