"The London ;;TTo7li Railway will pass through the Towns of

Hatfield, Biggleswade, lluntingdon, Peterborough, Grantham,
Newark, Retfonl, Bawtry, Doncaster, and Selby. An East Lincoln-
shire Line will leave the North and South Trunk near Peterborough,
and will pass through Spalding, Boston, Lincoln, Gaineborough, and
Bawtry to Sheffield—having a branch to Rotherham. There will be
a branch seven miles long from the Main Line to Bedford; another
to Stamford ; from Doncaster a branch will be taken to Wakefield.
The distance from London to York will be reduced 33} miles ; to
Selby and Hull, 40 ; to Leeds, 20 ; to Wakefield, Halifax, Bradford,
and Huddersfield, 26 ; to Sheffield, 12 ; to Doncaster, 30 miles ; Ro-
therham, 10; Barnsley, 9, as compared with existing Railways."
" The London and York will be seven miles longer than the Direct
Northern, but the whole distance will be accomplished in the same,
and perhaps even in less, time ; for the trains of the Direct Northern
must be considerably delayed at the branches proposed for the several
Towns which it leaves, from one to ten miles oast and west of its
