If you're mentioning additional construction after the MCR's independent existence ended, shouldn't that go under Midland Railway? Arwel 12:05 Feb 27, 2003 (UTC)
Er probably, but I didn't see how it would fit into the Midland Railway article User:G-Man
I have put the information under the Midland Main Line article I though it would fit their better User:G-Man
"To the north, the MCR system linked with the North Midland Railway which linked their system to Sheffield and beyond." Would it better just to put "South Yorkshire" rather than Sheffield, as it gives the impression that the NMR was built to Sheffield, when it bypassed it. The Sheffield to Rotherham Railway was a different project. jjb
"transported coal from the East Midlands to London," Would the BDJR have mainly transported Yorkshire coal via the NMR? jjb
[edit] Further Comment 2006
I will returning to these three lines shortly. I note the mention of the NMR and Sheffield has gone. In fact the link was at Chesterfield, but it was originally opposed by the NMR and was only built later by the Midland.
Another line planned by the MCR was a branch from Syston to Peterborough. The merger to form the Midland happened while it was being planned. I'm planning to write a separate article which will be tied to the MCR and the Midland articles and also the present day Birmingham to Peterborough line. Chevin 15:39, 26 January 2007 (UTC)
