The the first sod was cut in in 1846 (from the image caption)

It 'opened in 1849 between Sheffield and Gainsborough and Lincoln'

'It amalgamated with the Sheffield, Ashton-Under-Lyne and Manchester Railway and the Great Grimsby and Sheffield Junction Railway, the three being renamed the Manchester, Sheffield and Lincolnshire Railway in 1847'

How can the Sheffield and Lincolnshire Junction Railway have opened in 1849 when it had ceased to exist (because of the amalgamation) in 1847?

I don't have a copy of Great Central; Volume I The Progenitors, which might be the best source document to clarify things. I did read an article somewhere that it was only ever a proposed railway when subsumed by the MS&LR. 109.145.70.249 (talk) 09:43, 22 June 2023 (UTC)Reply

To quto the Wiki article on the Manchester, Sheffield and Lincolnshire Railway

The Manchester, Sheffield and Lincolnshire Railway (MS&LR) was formed in 1847 when the Sheffield, Ashton-under-Lyne and Manchester Railway joined with authorised but unbuilt railway companies, forming a proposed network from Manchester to Grimsby. It pursued a policy of expanding its area of influence, especially in reaching west to Liverpool, which it ultimately did through the medium of the Cheshire Lines Committee network in joint partnership with the Great Northern Railway and the Midland Railway. 109.145.70.249 (talk) 10:48, 22 June 2023 (UTC)Reply
