The writer of this 1831 pamphlet could see that a railway between 
England's two major cities would probably pay, at a time when others were 
claiming the cost was beyond all bounds.  The railway was built and I 
travel on it weekly.  As I write the UK government is looking at building 
a second London and Birmingham railway, and lots of people are claiming 
the cost will be beyond all bounds ...


All the best,

Overcast England
