This important undertaking, In connexion with the projected Lei-
cester and Birmingham Line, and the existing Midland Railways,
will form the most complete and direct line of communication yet
projected between the great corn-producing counties of Norfolk and
Lincoln, and the populous manufacturing districts of the Midland
Counties, of which Birmingham is the centre.
It will, in conjunction with the line via East Dereham to Lynn,
and the Norwich and Yarmouth Railway, establish a direct commu-
nication from Yarmouth and Norwich to Birmingham.
By means of its junction with the proposed Cambridge and Lin-
coln or the London and York lines, as the case may be, it will also
bring within the range of its advantages the whole of the country
between Lincoln and Peterborough.
The part of the line extending from Boston by Spalding to Market
Deeing, and the Branch from Spalding to Lynn, will also form the
direct route to London from those towns and the country northward
thereof as far as the Humber.
On the other hand, it will bring the whole of this highly cultivated
and populous county into direct and immediate communication with
the great coal-fields of Leicestershire and Warwickshire ; thhrouge pro-
posed line of the Leicester and Birmingham Railway passing through
the latter, and a Branch Lille from the Leicester and Swannington
Railway to the Midland Railway, at Broughton, uniting it with
the former.

or can be proposed.
By the junction of this line, at Nuneaton, with the Trent Valley
Railway, it will also form the most direct communication between
Yarmouth, Norwich, Lynn, Boston, Spalding, Stamford, and all the
intermediate towns, and Manchester, Liverpool, and North Wales;
and, by means of the railways centering at Birmingham, with Bris-
tol and the whole of the west of England and South Wales.
A glance at the map will-show that no line that can be devised will
so completely effect all the objects of a grand east and west commit.
