This important line of railway will commence near the Midland
Connties- Station. at Nottingham, whence, after crossing the navi-
gable River Trent, the line will proceed through or near Bridgeford,
Holme, F Valle, and the intermediate villages, Bingham,- Rot-
tesferd, Whatton, Elton, the rich and fertile Vale of litelvoir,
to the. town of Grantham, thence passing- through or near
Folkingham aid Bourn,
or one of them, to 'Spalding; Long Sutton.
Sutton-bridge, and King's Lynn ,and there joining the intended Lynn and
East Dereham Rellway, will form the mostdirect line of connexion be-
tween the Eastern Counties, and the great and populous manufac-
turing districts of Lancashire, Yorkshire, and Staffordshire, by means
of the projected Grand Union Extension lino to. Amber Gate, and
other lines north of Nottingham ; and by means of the line to
Yarmouth will also form a communication between the Eastern and
Western coasts of the Kingdom.
The Southern parts of Lincolnshire, and the North Eastern parts of
Cambridgeshire, will be afforded a direct facility of intercourse with
some of Ike best markets in England.
The neighbourhood of Nottingham being the most Eastern part
of the Great Midland Coal Field, this Line will afford a supply of
Coals, as well as being the medium of transit of Derbyshire Lime
and Stone to the Agriculturists of South Lincolnshire, at a conside-
rably cheaper rate than by other existing or projected Line ; in
short, the vast mineral wealth of the Midland District, will be ren-
dered available to the whole of the great agricultural country East
of Nottingham.
Surveys are now in progress, and the nature of the country is
known to offer no serious engineering difficulties, and a great portion
of the Lino will be nearly a dead level. The consideration of au ex-
tension of the Line from Spalding or Long Sutton to Wisbeacit, will
also form' a portion of the scheme.
The Report of the Board of Trade on the Lines through Lincoln-
shire, says :
" The total cost attending the transmission of a quarter of wheat
from the Interior of Lincolnshire, by sea, from the port -of Boston. to
London, including freight, insurance, ' lighterage, commission, and
other charges, is statedlo amtunt to very near Bs. The charge by
Railway per quarter (allowing five quarters to the ton, at the charge
of 1M d. per ton, per mile, at which the estimate of the Cambridge
and Lincoln Railway is taken) would not exceed 25., and the re-
maining charges are calculated not to exceed 2s. Gd., thus showing
a benefit to the corn growers and to the public of 3s. Gd. per quarter,
occasioned by the saving of the sums now paid for insurance,
delay, loss In weight, depreciation of quality, igliterage, &c."
" A still more important advantage to the Farmer is afforded by
the opportunity given by railway communications of availing himself
promptly of the most favourable market. It frequently happens tha-
owing to the delay'and difficulty of transmission, the Farmer is come
pelled to sell his wheat at the nearest provincial market at a price
considerably below the average rate, and to lose the advantage of a
temporary rise."
" Whatever tends to equalise prices and to
.prevent excessive flue-
tuatlons cannot but be considered as a benefit both to the producer
and the consumer. We are satisfied that much may be done in the
way by an economical and well arranged syatenr of railway com-
munication."
The same remarks apply to the whole of the great manulkettiring
districts of Lancashire, Yorkshire, and Staffordshire.
The great quantity of land, amounting to 100,000 acres, about
to he redeemed from the sea by a company, with Sir John Rennie, as
Engineer for the promoters, and Mr. Rendel, for the Corporation of
Lynn, must ultimately prove of -great Advantage is this under-
taking. And, it it is conceived, that the Grand Union Railway must
Meet with the cordial co-operation of the Midland Railways,' as an
immense traffic will be brought along those lines en route to Birthing-
ham, the Potteries, and the whole of the manufacturing districts of
Staffordshire. The traffic upon the intended Nottingham and Mans-
field, Sheffield and Newark, Manchester, Sheffield, and Midland junc-
tion, and the Sheffield and Manchester lines, most' also derive a great
increase from ithisline of rallies The Cambridge :and -Lincoln Rail-
waymust also be greatly benefited.
Power is intended to be reserved in the Act to allow 4 per cent. in-
terest upon deposits and calls, upon completion of the line.
