Elham Valley Railway Act 1866
9.123 The Elham Valley Railway Act 1866 239 was passed to authorise the Elham Valley
Railway Company to construct a railway in Kent between Canterbury and Hythe.
On 30 August 1873, however, a Board of Trade warrant was issued ordering that
the railway should be abandoned. 240 The company itself was wound up the
following year. 241 Accordingly the 1866 Act has become obsolete.
Teme Valley Railway Act 1866
9.124 The Teme Valley Railway Act 1866 242 was passed to authorise the Teme Valley
Railway Company to construct a railway between Worcester and Lindridge
(Worcestershire) and Burford (Shropshire). On 9 April 1874, however, a Board of
Trade warrant was issued ordering that the railway should be abandoned. 243 The
railway company itself was wound up in 1877. Accordingly the 1866 Act has
become obsolete.
Brampton and Longtown Railway Act 1866
9.125 The Brampton and Longtown Railway Act 1866 244 was passed to authorise the
Brampton and Longtown Railway Company to construct a railway between
Longtown and Brampton in Cumbria. On 12 October 1869, however, a Board of
Trade warrant was issued ordering that the railway should be abandoned. 245 The
company itself was wound up later that year. Accordingly the 1866 Act has
become obsolete.
West Riding and Grimsby Railway (Abandonment) Act 1868
9.126 The West Riding and Grimsby Railway (Abandonment) Act 1868 246 was passed
to authorise the West Riding and Grimsby Railway Company to abandon a
railway in Lincolnshire, between Keadby and Lincoln. The railway had been
authorised by the West Riding and Grimsby Railway (Extension) Act 1865. 247 By
1868, however, the lack of capital had made it impracticable to construct the
railway. The abandonment of the railway project authorised by the 1868 Act
means that the 1868 Act itself is now obsolete.
