It is proposed by this Company- to establish a direct line
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 cunpleted 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
milesin length, will be made, passing through Ashby-de-la-Zouch and
Castle Dornington, to the Long Eaton or Sawley Station on the Mid-
land Coantles Railway
The communication being thus perfect to Nottingham, it will be
carried forward as far as Gainsborough, either by the proposed Not-
tingham and Gainsborough Railway, or by a line springing out of the
line from Nottingham to Lincoln, for which an Act was obtained by
tlioxlintuad Counties Company during the last session of Parliament.
