SECRETARY—W.IIIISM Rtin,vard,
The first object of this line is to connect the town of Birmingham
Coventry, and Leicester, with the eastern coast by the nearest route
and to supply as important link of communication betimes the town
of Spalding and the eastern coast, and the western and midland
districts.
Commencing at the Spalding station of the Norwich, Derekam.
Lynn, and Holbeach Railways, the line will proceed by Bourn,
Witham, Castle Bytham, South Wytham, and Wymondharn, to a
point on the Syston and Peterborough line of railway near Melton-
mewhray, thus forming, by the Syston and Peterborough and Mid-
land Counties Railway, as almost direct route to Leicester, and
thence to Coventry and Birmingham by the proposed Coventry,
Nuneaton, Leicester, and Birmingham Railway.
The projected line will form the most direct communication be-
tween the eastern and midland districts of the kingdom, and will, by
means of the proposed lines across the county of Leicester, via Bur-
ton-upon-Trent, to Stafford, bring the markets of Lincoln, Norfolk.
Shropshire, and North Wales, nearer to each other by losany miles
than any other line of railway.
It will form, with other projected railways, an almost direct line
across the kingdom, from Yarmouth, via Norwich, on the east, to
Aberystwith, via Newton and Shrewsbury, on the west.
The entire length will not exceed thirty Miles. There is no tunnel-
ling, cutting, or embanking of any importance necessary ; the line
from Bourn to Spalding, a distance of about twelve milts, Is very
level, and may be constructed at a small coat.
It will secure the advantages of railway communication to a tract
of country at present destitute of this accommodation, besides open-
ing out sources of trade undeveloped for want of the means of transit.
The central midland districts have felt greatly the want of direct
communication with the coast ; and this line will at once supply the
deficiency to the greater part of Staffordshire and Leicestershire.
It will afford a trawit for the Staffordshire, Derbyshire, and Lei-
cestershire coal into districts heretofore entirely dependent upon
supply from the north at high prices: it will also secure the advan-
tages of an unlimited supply of lime from the Leicestershire works,
to the agricultural districts of Lincoln, which are at present only
supplied at very high rates; and, in return traffic, the midland dis-
tricts will °Main the advantage of a direct transit Si-o the stork and
agricultural produce of Lincolnshire and Norfolk.
Several proposed lines of railway converge at Spalding, which is
the nearest point OR the eastern roast for the midland counties, and
conneeted by the River Welland with the German Ocean.
