and been made by Sir John Ma '•
Esq., the country is found to be f a-
neill and James Thompson, .
.ail way, and to require neither tut-,
construction of a i.
course with London. The surveys , •
vourable to the
stkments • and there is, perhaps, no line of suet
nels nor heavy ern
which eould be constructed at comparatively so small i t :
sum named in the estimate.
The length of the line will be but about thirt I • y-n ne miles ; and la-
of this short link, in connexion with existing projects fro::
means
Notting , ham a saving will be effected between Leeds and the mettr•
eijxupPe'iristealasicethe .
peas exceeding thirty miles.
It will confluence at the projected terminus of the Wakefield, Pon
tefract, and Goole Railway, at Pontefract, and from thence procees.:
through Doncaster, Tickhlll, and Worksop, to the terminus of t'.t
Nottingham, Mansfield, and Midland Counties Railway, at Mansfleitl;
thereby completing, by means of the York and North Midland Rail
way, the shortest route from York to Nottingham and London.
will also, by the proposed extension line of the Wakefield, Pontefract
and Goole, from the York and North Midland, near Methlcy, for t-
the nearest line between Leeds, Nottingham, the Midland and South.
1 ern Counties, and by the Cook and Doncaster line, an uninterrnpto i
communication wills Goole and the shipping ports of the Humber
It will also form a means of communication with the several pre
jetted lines, to the rising post of Great Grimsby.
It is a remarkable feature in this fine, that there is no competto:.,
scheme, nor does it at all Interfere with any ornamental or resides:-
tied property.
It is not considered essential to enter into the details of tratric;t'l2
value of the lines In the district, in that respect, is a sufficient test
its extent, in addition to which, the railivay will become the reelpied
of much of the northern traffic, arising from the numerous branch's
with whichit is connected.
A preference will be given in the allotment to the shareholders
the adjacent lines.
