MipLA ND, BARNSLEY, DEWSBURY,
LEEDS, AND BRADFORD, RAILWAY.
Provisionally Registered.
The object of this Line is to snake a short and direct communica-
tion between Bradford, Cleckheaton, Ileckmondwike, and Dewsbury,
with Barnsley, Sheffield, and:all intermediate places to London. By
the present route from London, the Sheffield and Barnsley passengers
and goods are brought by way of Normanton, a distance of IDA miles
from Barnsley, and then either by Leeds to Bradford, a distance of
at least 20 miles, or by Use Leeds and Manchester Line to Brighouse,
a distance of at least 20mlIespnallingthe total distance- from Barnsley
to Bradford, by Leeds, 32 miles, and by the Manchester line, 42
miles. The distance from Dewsbury to Barnsley, by the present
Railway, is 22 miles. The promoters of this line propose to com-
mence this Railway by a junction with the North Midland line, at a
point below Barnsley, to Barnsley, and from thence in a direct course
to Dewsbury, reserving to themselves the power of making the line
to Bradford through the Cleckhcaton Valley, provided the West
Riding Junction and West Yorkshire amalgamated Companies do not
at the next session of Parliament apply to make that part of the line.
The line at Deivsbury will make a junction with the Leeds and Dews-
bury Railway, West' Riding Junction, and West Yorkshire
Amalgamated Scheme, and the present Manchester and Leeds Rail-
way, at or near a place called Thornhill Lees, snaking the distance, as
the crow flies, to be as follows ;--

Barnsley to Bradford • • • • • .. • .....
Barnsley to Dewsbury ••••.. . • • • ..... ••• .. •
Barnsley to Leeds ••••. • • • • • ....... •••• • • • • 19 „
This line will, therefore, effect the following saving in distances :
To Derby, London, &c. from Bradford, about ll miles.
To Barnsley from 8radf0rd.......... •••• • • • • 14 „
To Sheffield from Bradford ••• • • • • •••• • • • • 14 „
To Barnesley from Dewsbury ••..••••• • • • • • • • 12
To Barnsley from Leeds • • • • • • • • ... ..... . 3
The proposed line, in conjunction with the Leeds and Dewsbury,
West Riding Junction and West Yorkshire Railways, will bring, by
the shortest route, to the populous manufacturing districts between
Barnsley, Dewsbury, and Bradford, the traffic from Leicester, Derby,
London, &c. _

This Railway will also open one of the richest coal districts in the
kingdom.

If the present:Hull and Barnsley Junction Railway project should be
obtained, this Railway will be a direct line to Hull. And in conjunc-
tion with other projects now before the public, will be a direct line,
from Sheffield, Barnsley, Dewsbury, &c., to the North.
When the survey is completed a detailed prospectus, with the names
of the Provisional Committee, will be published. The Capital re-
quired for the undertaking to be divided into Shares of 201. each, and

the numbers on the Scrip, and the date-of dispatch.

ELY and BURY ST. EDMUNDS RAILWAY.
A Company is in the course of formation for the construction
of a Railway &bill the city of Ely to the town of Bury St. Edmunds.
The line will c3mmence by a junction at Ely with the Eastern
Counties, Lynn and Ely, and Ely and Lluntingdon Railways, and will
terminate at Bury by a junction with the Ipswich and Bury Railway.
Its object is to preserve the mercantile connexion which has for
generations subsisted between the county of Suffolk, the town of Bury,
and the port of Lynn, and to afford Ipswich, Colchester, and Bury,
and all that portion of the kingdom a direct communication with the
manufacturing districts.

The distance from Bury, and consequently from all places eastward
of that town to Peterborough, the point at which so many lines pass-
ing from the south and east to the north and north-west converge,
will by the Ely and Bury line be ten miles shorter than the route to
that city by way of Cambridge.
A detailed Prospectus will be issued immediately.
