..,_Th,at formation of a Direct Main-Trunk Railway, for the im.
Sy"!.l Purpose ef connecting the north of England and Scotland,
se._ura and Lincoln. with the metropolis, has been decided upon,
of', Mature investigation and conviction of the public advantaged
441 a line of communication.
The line will commence near King's-cross, In the New-road, the
14
ventral situation in the metropolis, both as regards the West_
andl:hd the City; it proceeds by Chipping Barnet, Biggleswade,
"'te. Huntingdon, near Peterbotough and Market Deeping by
ee!eford, to the west of Bourn, east of Grantham, west if Sleaford,
TIZ east of Newark, to Lincoln, and thence by Gainsborough,
Snaith, and Selby, to York.
',O distance by it between London and York will be 180 miles.
Itwillbe about i 0 miles shorter than by any other proposed line.
, t will reduce by 510 miles the present distance between London
iti'
T rk, and will cusequently by the came distance bring New-
e„,,e and Edinburgh nearer to the metropolis, while the distance
'
terms between Landon and Hull will be no less than 43 miles.
it will form the nearest route to Leeds, Selby, Hull, Halifax,
j"'td,n r‘rd, Huddersfield, Wakefield, Pontefract, and Sheffield ; thus
,Ibanditig the traffic of the manufacturing districts of Yorkshire,
Roll as the traffic from the north of England, Scotland, Lineolu-
;!. and the other agricultural districts through whieh it passes.
ie2king Its course thtowns of importan cerough a highly productive country, it em-
,,,7 all the market , and connects all Lin.
141 re with the manufacturing districts and the metropolis.
, ,'t opens an easy communication between Norfolk and Suffblk,
'" the Were and North of England.
.rhe line, as will be seen by the map, does not interfere with the
'airteee of the fen country, whilst it embraces the most important
it amets and towns of that district.
The inclinations are extremely favourable, and are obtained at a
moderate expense, there not being any engineering work of great
seltude on 4 the line. The guage will be the same as the exist-
-11
nes through the manufacturing districts, and all loss of time
' travelling will he avoided, as the line will be an integral trunk
k
Ite ender one management.
,The txpense of construction being moderate, and the distance se
tkil reduced, the fares will be proportionately less, and an ample
tr:),lli is sufficiently shown by the annexed abstract of the traffic
51e which are the result of a most rigid investigation, and are
1,1,t
Pared as evidence for Parliament.
lie capital proposed to be raised, namely, 4,000,0001., is a sum
,tleding the engineers' estimate. It has, however, been thought
th'itable to allownt time an ample margin for any increase of' prices above
estll of the ! prese.
144 e surveys were coenmenced In October last, and in March
eat' the Direct Northern Line, and its advantages (together with
643' other trial lines, and their disadvantages), were carefully
ft,"4ltht to the consideration of many gentlemen well qualified to
erl *pinion on such matters, and finally the:prospectus, accom-
e", by a map on a sufficient scale, was published on the 4th of
ee".. 1844. This prospectus and map show the London terminus
I.'l4'a-cross.
ep4t this date there was not before the public any other projeet
'direct line of railway from London to York ; but when more
th.
eras
a month had elapsed from the time of the publication of the
'eectus and Map of the Direct Northern Railway, the Cam.
th'lte and York via Lincoln Railway Company (who had up to
hat time adhered to an indirect line by Cambridge to York)
;:it'lled their title to that of the London and York Railway Corn-
ss Y. and their stated capital, which previously had varied from
41°,0001. to 1,600,0001., was then, for the first time, named at
1,;,0/. In their new prospectus he London and York Cora.
fee also adopted King's-cross for their London terminus.
,o°t! the sense entertained of these encroachments by the pro.
top: of the Direct Northern Railway, the York and Londen
le-t'altY were duly apprised by a circular addressed to each mem-
etre of their Committee of the ISth of May last, and signed by the
rotary, Major Amsinck.
hel lineP of the London and York Railway was, however, pub.
."4 in the latter part of August last, which, to the surprise of
promoters of the Direct Northern Line, showed an attempt to
hPjPriate upwards of 70 miles from London of the published line
