PROSPECTUS.
The objects intended to be accomplished by this undertaking are—
Firstly—Tire supply of local railway accommodation to the impor-
tant districts embraced by the line.
Secondly—The benefit of railway communication with the metro-
polis to a district of country upwards of fifty miles in length at pre-
sent unprovided with that accommodation.
Thirdly—The completion of the chain of railway communication
between the river Severn and the southern and western counties, anti
the north-eastern district of the kingdom and the river limber and
Its ports, including that of Ilull.
Commencing at the town of Northampton, in cor.junctioa with the
London and Birmingham, and the lines of railway proposed to con-
verge at that town from Cheltenham, and the west from Worcester
and from Warwick, the line will proceed in a direct course to the
market town of Kettering, by which place all the companies compet-
ing for the line of railway between London and Manchester propose
to pass. It will then proceed also in a direct course to the market
towns of Uppingliam, Oakham, and Grantham, on to Lincoln.
The country lying between the towns of Northampton and Grant-
ham is wholly without existing or even proposed railway accommo-
dation, not only to the south but also to the north.
At Lincoln the line will fork, and proceed, on the one hand, in a
northerly direction to the flourishing port of Gainsloorough, and, on
the other, by a north-eastern course to the market town of Market
Raisen, on to the rising port of Great Grimsby.
I4y a union with the Sheffield and Great Grimsby Junction Rail-
way at Market Raisen, a direct and uninterrupted chain of communi-
cation will be established between all the above-mentioned districts
and the town and port of Hull.
The sources of traffic which this line will secure are various and
very considerable ; some of them only can be here enumerated, viz.:—
Starting from Great Grimsby, the line will appropriate to itself the
whole of the traffic from thence to the metropolis, and also the
southern and western districts of the kingdom, and, in addition, it
will secure the important and increasing local traffic between that
town and Market Raisen and Lincoln.
From Gainshorough, the termini of several railways from the
north and north-west, this line will carry the traffic to Lincoln, its
county town.
The traffic from Hull to the metropolis, and also to the west, will
enter upon this line at Market Raison and proceed thereon to Lincoln.
From Lincoln the wholeof the traffic: passing to the west and the
Intermediate towns must pass over this line.
In the event of the Cambridge and Lincoln Railway Company not
obtaining their Bill, then the traffic. from Lincaln to the south and
west, and also the metropolis, will pass along this line of railway ; the
former the whole distance, and the latter in any event to Grantham,
a distance of about twenty-five miles ; and should the London and
York Company not succeel, such traffic will proceed on to Kettering
or Northampton.
