The object of this railway is to connect, in the most direct course,
the important and increasing manufacturing town of Leeds with the
Metropolis, the want of which has long been felt, and is too univer-
sally acknowledged to need any comment, and it is under this con-
viction that this important undertaking, after several minute exa-
minations of the country through which it will pass, has been brought
forward.
The proposed line will commence at the junction of the Manche -
ter and Leeds, and York and North Midland Railways, near Wake-
field, and will terminate by means of a junction with the Eastern
Counties Railway at Bedford (to which place it is the intention of
that Company to extend their line in the ensuing session of Parlia-
ment), and by thus availing itself as far as possible of the existing
railways, will complete the most direct and least expensive trunk
line, from London to Leeds, York, and Hull. It will pass in its route
within an available distance of Wakefield, Pontefract, Doncaster,
Rotherham, East Redford, Nottingham, Newark, Grantham, Melton
Mowbray, Oakham, and Stamford.
The importance of such a line is obvious, both from the nature of
its course (embracing, as it does, a most extensive population within
its limits) as also from the absence of any direct communication for
the conveyance of passengers and merchandise.
By the construction of this railway, railway communication to
London will be given to Peterborough and Leicester (by means of
the Syston and Peterborough Railway), to Newark and Nottingham
(by the Nottingham and Lincoln line), and to Sheffield and Gainsbo-
rough (by the Sheffield and Gainsborough line), by a much shorter
route than by any existing Railways.
Independently of the advantages offered to the towns in the several
counties through which this Line will pass, the Line in itself consi-
dered as a direct trunk line between London and Leeds, is sufficient
to justify its formation, it being well known that the existing traffic
between these two places would produce such a return on the capital
required, as to admit of a dividend, equal to that of any railway in
operation : but when it is borne in mind, that a Company is being
formed for the purpose of connecting Glasgow with Leeds by means of
a junction with the York and Carlisle Railway, no better line can be
presented to the public, as it will not only effect a direct communica-
tion from Glasgow and the Western parts of Scotland to London, but
would also connect Edinburgh and the Eastern parts of Scotland as
well as Durham and Newcastle (by the York and North Midland, and
Great North of England Railways), with the MetropolisAwhich would
be considerably shorter than the accommodation offered by any
other Company, and when cost of construction is considered, there
cannot be a doubt but that preference would be given to the Great
Leeds and London Direct Railway.
The fact of the Eastern Counties Railway being connected by a
branch line with the East and West India Docks on the river
Thames, and the Railway Company having recently leased for 999
years the extensive pepper warehouses belonging to those docks,
which are capable of receiving 12,000 tons of goods, together with
wharfs adjoining, where the shipment and trans-shipment of,go_cet
from all parts of the world can take place, is a most im"°lftsacittuil-ing
ture in favour of the direct communication from the ma
towns of Glasgow and Leeds offered by the Great Leedsain trunk line,
Direct Railway, and by branch railways to the
anuracturing
laand London
through which all goods from the whole of tahrnehouses tbr shipment,
tricts could be conveyed at once to these
x‘pse- nse of cartage, and in
thereby avoiding the present delay
reality establishing an almost dire:el:den% an invaluable connexion
between the rivers Clyde and Than
are no engineering difficulties,
It has been ascertained that there
and the gradients remarkably good, and
that the works will be easy,
that it will not materially interfere nl
with any ornamental property.
The Subscribers will be held. liable only to the extent Of their first
deposits until an Act of Parliament Is obtained, and afterwards only

It is proposed to take power n to allow at 4 per
ccut. per annum on all calls until the opening of the line, and also to
extend the line to Hertford on the Eastern Counties line, in the event
of that Company not prosecuting their line to Bedford.
