It Is proposed by this Company to establish a direct line of comma-
nicat ion• between Tlirmingham, Nottingham, Gainsborough, and Hull,
at the smallest outlay of capital, and with the least possible injury to
existneg intersets. To effect this- oblect, use will be made of existing
or projecten. lines, as far as practicable, and the chain of communica-
tion will be completed by throwing out nee, lines, where requisite.
Conemeneing at Binning-ham, it is propoied to use the Birmingham
anti Derby Railway as far as Whitacre, whence a new line, about 29
miles in length, will be made, passing through Ashby-de-la-Zouch and
Castle Donnlngton, to the Long Eaton or Sawley Station on the Mid-
land Counties Railway
'the comnranicetion being thus perfect to Nottingham, it will be
carried sbrward as far as Gainsborough, either by the proposed Not-
tingham and Gainsborough Railway, or by a line springing out of the
line Penn Nottingham to Lincoln, for which an Act was obtaimed by
the irlidiand Counties Company ;urine, the last session of Parliament.
From Gainsborough this railway will proceed to Barton-on-the-
Humber, or New Hollainl, in the Immediate vicinity of Hull, thereby
rendering complete and entire the chain of communication between
Birminehain and Hull.
By this project the advantages will result to the public of
Direct hue from Birmingham to Nottingham,
Birmingham to Gainsborough,
arid trout Binningliam to Hull;
arid by means of the proposed South Staffordshire Junction Railway,
and the intended extension to Ashby-de-la-Zouch, a direct line from
Wolverhampton to Nottingham, and the other towns already enu-
Thesupport of several companies will be enlisted in favour of the
rasrate
5t1,.1
lice. which, together with its own merits, will ensure its success in
Parliament.
As a considerable portion of the line of communication is already
made, or in progress, the time required for the completion of this
great national undertaking will be materially shortened.
Independently of the advantages to be derived by a direct commu-
nication between the linyortant seaport of Hull and the mining and
manufacturing districts of Warwickshire and Staffordshire, a large
traffic in timber, corn, metals, &c., may be confidently expected.
The revenue of the Company, in addition, will be derived from the
great thorough traffic from Birmingham awl the midland counties to
Nottingham and Gainsborough, and the immense traffic from Bir-
mingham to Hull, the port at which the exports are shipped to Hain-
burgh, the Germen States, and the North of Europe; and from tine
conveyance of merchandise, aericultnral produce, and cattle from the
Southern, western, and midland counties.
A preference will be given in the allotment of shares to landowners
on the line, and other local proprietors, as well as to directors and
shareholders in railways interested in supporting this undertaking.
Ni subscriber will be liable beyond the runount of the deposit
until the Act is obtained, and then not beyond the amount of his
!subscription.
The usual power will be taken to allow interest at se
psr cont. from the time of payment upon
