This undertaking is projected by influential local interests to supply
the requirements of the above important district ; and a reference to
the map will show that it will also complete the communication be-
Aween York, Leeds, and the intermediate towns in the most direct
course with London. The surveys have been made by Sir John Mac-
neill and James Thompson, Esq.', and the country is found to be fa •
yourable to the construction of a railway; and there is, perhaps, no
line of such importance which could be constructed at comparatively
so small an expense as the sum named in the estimate.
The length of the line will be but about thirty-nine miles ; and by
Means of this short link, in connexion with existing projects from
Nottingham, a saving will be effected between Leeds and the metro-
polis exceeding twenty-five miles.
It will commence at the projected terminus of the Wakefield, Pon-
tefract, and Goole Railway, at Pontefract, and from thence proceed
through Doncaster, Tickhill, and Worksop, to the terminus of the
Nottingham, Mansfield, and Midland Counties Railway, at Mansfield ;
thereby complethrt, by means of the York and North Midland Rail-
way, the shortest route from York to Nottingham and London. It
will also, by the proposed extension line-of the Wakefield, Pontefract
and Goole, froin the York and North Midland, near Methley, form
the nearest line between Leeds, Nottingham, the Midland and South.
