The object of this line is to form the nearest possible route from
Hull to Manchester, Liverpool, Sheffield, Rotherham, Barnsley,
and other places, in connexion with the Midland Railway and its
Extensions.
The line is intended to commence at a junction with the Hull
and Selby Railway at or near Gilberdyke, and from thence con.
tinue in a direct HMO through or near Linton, Bellasize, Laxton,
Skelton, Goole, Thorne, Fishlake, Bramwith, Hatfield, Armthorp,
Doncaster, Sprotboro', (and its extensive Limestone Fields) Co-
nistsro', Hooton, Rotherham, and to join the Midland Railway at
Maabro'.

The following are some of the advantages this line possesses:—
It will, by a junction with the proposed Manchester, Huddersfield,
and Great Grimsby Railway, at Doncaster, effect a saving between
Hull and Manchester, and between Hull and Liverpool, of about
forty miles, over any existing route.
It wiil form a junction upon a level with the proposed London
and York at Doncaster, and thus open the shortest route from the
termini of these projected lines to London and Edinburgh, and
also the most direct route to Chesterfield, Nottingham, Derby,
and Birmingham.
It will form a direct route from hull to Sheffield through
Goole, Thorne, and Doncaster.
It will form a direct line from Hull to Barnsley, and the inex-
haustible coal-fields of Srlkstone, Worsbro' Cawthorne, Bretton,
Billingley, Barugh, and also to the limestone fic'ds in the neigh-
bourhood of Doncaster, which will be of great benefit to the agri..
cultural districts of Lincolnshire and the East and North Riding,
of Yorkshire,
It will, by the saving of distance and of stoppage, accelerate the
mails between Bull and Sheffield, and Bull and Manchester, at
least two hours.
The whole of the country has been carefully surveyed, and the
report of the engineer is exceedingly satisfactory.
No engineering difficulties exist, nor will any ornamental or re-
sidential property be interfered with, and the line is comparatively
a straight one.
The cost of construction is very much below the average, owing
to its being a surface line nearly the whole distance, and the im-
mense traffic that will pass over it must render it highly remune.
