The object of this line Is to make a short and (Brent communication
between the populous manufacturing and iron and coal districts of
Bradford, Cleckheaton, lleckmondwike, Batley, Dewsbury, Barns-
ley, and Sheffield, with tho wool and agricultural districts of Lei.
cestershire, Derbyshire, Doncaster, Galusborough, Lincoln, &c., and
the port of Boston.

The line will form a junctlOil with the West Yorkshire, the Leeds
and Dewsbury, and the Manchester and Leeds Beltways, at or
near Dewsbury; and thence proceed by Dart to Barnsley, and
IVonthwell, to or near to Wath-upon-Dearne, near Swinton ; where
it will Join the North Midland Railway, and also meet the proposed
line to Doncaster, Bawtry, Gainsboreugh, and Lincoln ; and form a
communication by the existing lines with the port of Boston and the
south ; and by the projected Hull and Barnsley Junction Railway ;
it will else form a direet line to Hull, and by the Leeds and Thirsk
Railway, a direct line to the nortk.
The hue will also be continued from Barnsley by Tankersley and
Chapeltown to Sheffield.
A branch will run to the various ironworks and Colliery Rail-
ways, near Wentworth I alld another branch will run to the Silk-
stone Colliery Railways.
A direct itos Of ciallltuunication will thus be formed between the
1111P014411t Mattllfiteturlng places of Bradford, Blerley, Cleckheaton,
Ciomereall, Ileckmondwile, Liversedge, Batley, Dewsbury, Ossett,
Thornhill, Dorton, Barnsley, Ardeley, and Wombwell, to Wath-
upon-Dearne, Doncaster, Liueolnshire, the port of Boston, and the
south, and also to SWIM ; affording the best possible accommoda-
tion to the rich Iron and coal districts of Silkstone, Worsborough,
Ttukerslcy, Chapeltown, and Sheffiell ; whilst the wools and raw
materials used in the manufactures at Bradford, Pudsey, Earlshcaton,
Cleckheaton, Batley, Heekinondwlke, Dewsbury, and Barnsley, as
well as corn and cattle, will be received by the shortest and most di-
rect line of transit from Leicestershire, Derbyshire, Lincolnshire,
anti the southern parts which supply these commodities, in exchange
for the manufactures, coals, and minerals of those districts.
It must be evident to every one, en looking at the map, that this
line is imperatively called for, as up to this period the only rail-
way communication for the supply of wool and other goods, and the
conveyance of passengers to Dewsbury, Heckmondwike, Batley,
Cleckheaton, Bradford, and the intermediate places (each containing
a numerous manufacturing population), has been the North Midland
line by Normanton—a very circuitous route, as appears by the fol-
lowing statement of distances of those places :

The present distance to Sheffield from Bradford is about SI miles ;
by the proposed line it will be 31,—0r a saving of 20 miles.
From Dewsbury by the present route Sheffield is distint 40 miles ;
by the proposed line It will be 21,—0r a saving of 19 miles.
The came observations, as to saving of distance, apply to London
and all intermediate places ; and it is important to observe that either
by the present North Midland line, or by the projected London and
York Railway, this proposed line will be the shortest and most direct
route from Bradford, Dewsbury, &c., to London.
It may also be noticed, that from Swinton to Leeds by this project
and the Leeds and Dewsbury line, the distance is much less than by
way a Normanton.
The following table, taken from the Parliamentary Census of 1841,
will give some idea of the populous Districts through which the line
passes :
