A most important feature in this project is, that it will open the
shortest possible route from London to Ireland, with the least
possible amount of sea travelling.
From the causes above entunerated, the proposed line offers a safe
field
.for lucrative Investment ; but In addition to this, the Trent
Valley, London and Birmingham, Birmingham and Gloucester, Ox-
ford, and Worcester and Wolverhampton, as well as the Stafford and
Shropshire Railways, will Pe valuable tributaries to its revenue.
By adopting this particular route, all engineering difficulties will
be avoided, and great local Influence secured.

The surveys are in a forward state, and the projectors ►ill be quite
ready to proceed to Parliament next t.,"ession. Prospectuses and
plans may be obtained on application to any of the solicitors or
agents, to whom application for shares may be made in the follow-
ing form :

This railway is intended to commence at or near to the Alne stn- 1
tion on the Great North of England Railway, to proceed by way of '
Aldborough, Boroughbridge, and Dishforth, and to terminate at the
Leeds and Thirsk Railway near to Wath, at a junction with, and so
as to form an eastern continuation of, the Yorkshire and Glasgow
Union Railway.
The length of the line will be about thirteen miles, and, in forming
it, three objects are in view : •
Ist. To accommodate Boroughbridge, and a great extent of highly
fertile and productive country hitherto entirely devoid of railway
communication.
2d. To form a connecting link between the Great North of Eng-
land Railway, and the Yorkshire and Glasgow Union Railway, and
thereby to make this project part of the trunk lines from Hull,
'ngton, Scarborough,
Selby, York, Beverley, Marketweighton,
Glasgow Union, which

accommoda-
tion to the town of Boroughbridge and its locality by connecting it
Leeds and Thirsk Railway and its extension. To afford
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
with Carlisle, Durham, Hull, Ripon, York, Scarborough,
North of England Railway to Boroughbridge, inasmuch as this line
will give an outlet in 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 the
map, be seen to be very considerable, especially with regard to rail-
way communication between the cities of Ripon and York, Wath
being only four miles north-east of Ripon; and this line, in con-
nexion with the Leeds and Thirsk Railway (which runs through that
city), forming a continuous, as well as the shortest and best, line of
railway between Ripon and York.
In the allotment of shares preference will be given to landowners
and others locally interested on the line.
