This line is intended to commence at the Port of Wlsbech, by a
junction with the line of railway now forming from Lynn, and pro-
ceed by Thomey to Peterborough, there uniting with the branch of
the London and Birmingham Railway to Northampton, and the
Peterborough and Syston branch of the Midland Counties Railway,
forming a through line from Yarmouth, Norwich, Derehain, Swaff-
ham, Lynn, and Wisbech, to Northampton, Birmingham, Derby,
Nottingham, and the whole of the northern and western parts of
England. The entire distance being completed in about 18 miles.
The importance of this railway, though only 18 miles in length, will be at once seen by an inspection of the map, when the following points will be self-evident-
1. That the port of Wisbech is the nearest sea-port for Birming-
ham, Staffordshire, and the Midland districts of England.
2. That this line will open the whole of the manufacturing and
mineral districts of the Midland Counties and the Potteries to Wis-
bech, the nearest port for Belgium, Holland, Germany, and the nor-
thern States of Europe.
3. That by the formation of this line a direct railway ommunica-
Bon will be opened between the port of Wisbech, and the ports of
Southampton, Bristol, Gloucester, and Liverpool.
4. That this line will unite the Birmingham and Midland Counties
system of railway with those of Norfolk, communicating with Nor-
wich and Yarmouth.
