Aldborough, Boroughbridge., and Dishforth, and to terminate at the
Leeds and Thirsk Railway near to Watli, at a junction with, and so
as to form an eastern continuation of, the Yorkshire and Glasgow
Union Railway.

this project will do to a much greater extent than would have been
afforded by the Pill Moor branch of last session, from the Great
North of England Railway to Boroughbridge, inasmuch as this line
will give an outlet he both a northern and eastern direction, whilst
that of last session would have afforded merely a northern one.
The country is level, requiring no tunnel, and very little cutting or
embanking, and the line will consequently be of easy construction
The cost will be comparatively light, and all residential annoyance
or injury to property will be avoided.
The Saving of distance by this scheme will, on reference to
ra the
midrga to il-
map, be seen to be very considerable, especially wit
this line, in con-
being only four [piles north-east of Ripon ; and way communication between the cities of Ri York, Weill
nexion with the Leeds and Thirsk Railway (wideh
runs through that
rk.
In the allotment of shares preferentce will be given to landowners
