• DETENTION OF PASSENGERS
AT NORMANTON.
TO THE DIRECTORS OE THE MANCHESTER AND LEEDS
' AND NORTH MIDLAND RAILWAYS.

GENTLEMEN—I think it' due' to the public to take
notice in the manner most likely to arrest your attention,
and to enforce- imkoved arrangements for •the future,
of the great inconvenience, annoyance, and injustice to
which a number' oryour passengers were subjected on
Tuesday last. You have made considetable efforts to
bring, upon your lines a portion of the traffic for the
south, which would otherwise proceed by the Grand
Junction ; 'but you appear to have made no adequate
arrangements to secure the regular and timely convey-
ance of your passengers.
On Tuesday last, a number 13f passengers, of whom I
was one, took tickets at the Manchester, and other sta-
tions of the Manchester and Leeds line, for Barnsley,
Sheffield, Derby, London, &c., by the 4. 45. p.m. train.
We left Manchester at that time, and on arriving at
the Normanton station, we found that the train -by
which we should have been conveyed fOrward, had
started not more than. two minutes before—in, fact, we
had met the train within 300 yards of the platform..
No attempt was made to detain the South train foi the
few moments that would have sulfided to detach our
carriage. And there we were at Normanton, whence
no other passenger train for the south .was to start until
he. next morning.
We applied to the station master to have a pilot en-
gine attached to our carriage, to convey us forward. It
was a North Midland carriage, which we had been told
at Manchester was there expressly for the south passen-
gers, in order that no time might be lost by a change of
carriage at Normanton. There, then, 'was the carriage
at Normanton, ready to proceed, and there, too, stood-upon
the rails, an unengagedoengine, with the steam up, whicq
might have been attached to our carriage to, overtake the
mail train; or, if not, to convey it forward to Derby. We
strongly urged our claim to be thus, forwarded, but we were
peremptorily told that such a thing, never had been, and
could not now be done. But the offer was made, with
that exquisite consideration in' which railway officials
seem to be great proficients, not to send us south, accord-
ing to the engagement of our tickets, but to send us
north to Leeds ! where we might stay for the night ; and
whence gentlemen who had important engagements in
London for the next morning, might then, instead of being
at their destination, start for town ! This insulting pro-
posal was, of course, indignantly rejected.
During the altercation which took place between us
(the party of detained passengers), and the servants of
the railway, we accidentally learned that Mr. Stansfield,
one of the Directors of the North Midland, was' at the
adjoining Hotel. To him, therefore, we repaired • and
there we found also Mr. Craig, superintendent of the
Leeds station. It appeared that Mr. Stansfield was in
the same boat with ourselves, he having come from Man-
chester for the south. Mr. Stansfield and Mr. Craig
concurred in telling us that they had no power to order
out a special engine for, our' conveyance, and even as-
sured us that there was not a spare engine at the station,
for that which we had seen belonged
,to the York -and*
North Midland. It was also gravely represented to 'us
by these gentlemen and the station master, that to send
a special train would be very dangerous, because, as the
mail train had not signalised that any other was to follow
it, there might be rails taken up, or other work in pro-
gress on the line. But Mr. Stansfield and Mr.. Craig of-
fered us the alternative of being carried:north to. Leeds
for the night, or being attached to the luggage train ex-
pected from Leeds at about half-past eight, and so Con
