It is proposed by this Company to establish a direct line of commu-
nication between Birmingham, Nottingham, Gainsborough, and Hull,
at the smallest outlay of capital, and with the least possible injury to
existing interests. To effect this object, use will be made of existing
or projected lines, as far as practicable, and the chain of communica-
tion will be completed by throwing out new lines, where requisite.
Commencing at Birmingham, it is proposed to use the Birmingham
and 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 Donnington, to the Long Eaton or Sawley Station on the Mid-
land Counties Railway

From Gainsborough this railway will proceed to Barton-on-the-
Humber, or New Holland, in the immediate vicinity of Hull, thereby
rendering complete and entire the chain of communication between
Birmingham and Hull.
By this project the advantages will result to the public of a
Direct line from Birmingham to Nottingham,
Birmingham to Gainsborough,
and front Birmingham to Hull;
and by means of the proposed South Staffordshire Junction Rail
and the intended extension to Ashby-de-la-Zouch and Alrevras, a
direct line from Wolverhampton and Dudley to Nottingham, and
the other towns already enumerated.
The support of several companies will be enlisted in favour of the
lise, which, together with its own merits, will ensure its succeary
Parliament.
