Excerpt from Bradshaw's Railway Manual, Shareholder's Guide and Official Directory, 1905: Containing the History and Financial Position of Every Railway Controlled by British Capital at Home and Abroad, Also of the Principal Canal and Rolling Stock Companies, With Statistics, Powers, and Other Data Owing to the desirability of publishing the manual in future early in the year it is not possible to incorporate all the details regarding working up to the end of December, as such information will not be officially available until some time after the manual will have reached the hands of the public. It is, therefore, necessary to confine the review of railway progress, which appears on a subsequent page, to the year 1903 and to the six months ended 3oth June, 1904.
