 A Bill was introduced into Parliament for the new line from Cinderford Bridge, passing through two tunnels, and touching the village of Blakeney on the way to Brimspill.However the Bill was thrown out for failing to comply with standing orders; some buildings had been omitted from the plans and there was a discrepancy in the datum levels.The chairman, Protheroe, immediately wrote to Stephenson, but he was abroad and George Parker Bidder replied.
