This Undertaking is projected by influential local interests to supply
the requ!re,nents of the above important district ; and a reference to
the Map will show that it will also complete the communication be-
tween York, Leeds, and the intermediate towns in the most direct
course with London. The surveys have been made by Sir John Mac-
neill and Junin Thompson, Esq., and the country is found to be fa •
vourable to the construction of a railway ; and there is, perhaps, no
Um of such imporlance which could be constructed at comparatively
so small, an expsnse 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
Nottinghath, a saving will be effected between Leeds and the metro-
polis exceeding twenty-five miles.
It will commence at the projected terminus of the Wakefield, Pon-
tefract, and Goole Railway, at Pontefract, and from thence proceed
throngliMricaster, Tickhill, and Worksop, to the terminus of the
Nom edam. Mansfield, and Midland Counties Railway, at Mansfield ;
thereby Completin.t, by means of the York and North Midland Rail-
way, the shortest route from York to Nottingham and London. It
will alsci, by the.proposed extension line of the Wakefield, Pontefract
and GoOlrfreen. the York and North Midland, near Methley, form
the nearestline between Leeds. Nottingham, the Midland and South-
ern
Counties, and by the Goole and Doncaster line, an uninterrupted
ern.OPie-WeAt with Goole and the shipping ports of the Humber.
I will also form a means of communication with the several pro-
jectel.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 of traffic ; the
value of thelines In the district, in that res pet, Is asufitTent test of
Its extent, In addition to which, the railway will become recipient
of muck -of the northern traffic, arising (ruin the nunierou
with whiCh it is connected, and must also become the Grand raTnruchneks
Line to Condon from the Western part of Yorkshire.
By the:Subscribers' Agreement, authority will be given to the Di-
rectors to euter into such arrangements with existing Companies
as may appear to them expedient.
A prefereuce will be given- in the allotment to the shareholders is
the adjacent lines, which fact, with particulars, must be stated in
their app cations.
