This undertaking is Protected byinflnential local interests to supply
the requirements of the
above important district ; and a reference to
it will also complete the communication be-
tweenthe map will show that
i (1 the intermediate towns in the most direct
York, Leeds,
al'
The surveys have been made by Sir John Mile-
course with London.
Esq., and the country is found to be la-
nai and .Tames Thompson,
of a railway, and to require neither Mu-
tts the construction • ~ .
vourable
embankments ; and there is, perhaps, no line of such
nets nor heavy
which could be constructed at comparatively so small an
importance
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 sawing will be effected between Leeds and the metro-
polis
exceeding thirty miles.
It will cotnnience at the projected terminus of the Wakefield, run-
Ofract, and Goole Railway, at Pontefract, and from thence rroeeei
through DOnenster. Tickhill, and Worksop, to the terminus of tl.o '
Not tiagliam, Mansfield, and Mimiland Counties Railway. at Mansfield ;
thereby completiwt, by means of the York and North Midlat d ;Rail-
way, the shortest route from York to Nottingham and Damien. It
will also, by the proposed extension line of the Wakefield, Pontefract, .
and Goole, from the York amid North Midland, near 3lethley, fore,
th. nearest line between Leeds, Nottingham, the Midland and Son.
ern Counties, and by the Goole and Doncaster line, an uninterrul.
communication with Goole and the shipping ports of the Hutt ,
It will also formic a means of communication with the several pr.•
jected lines, to the rising port of Great Grimsby.
It is a remarkable feature in this line, that there is no competing
scheme, nor does it at all interfere with any ornamental or residen-
tial property.
It is not considered essential to enter into the details af traffic; the
value of the lines in the district, in that respect, is a sufficient test of
its extent, in addition towhich, the railway will become the recipient
of much of the northern traffic, arising from the numerous brancl“ .
with which it is connected.
A preference will be given in the allotment to the shareholders ia
the adjacent lines.
Application for shares may be made in the usual form, to the ,
