The Rugby, Derby, and Manchester Railway is a direct line from
London to Manchester, coming from London to Rugby, along the
London and Birmingham line, and proceeding from Rugby to Hinck-
ley through Market-Bosworth and Ashby-de-la-Zouch, to Derby,
thence to Ashbourne, by Leek to Macclesfield, and along the Mac-
clesfield and Stockport, and Stockport and Manchester Railways, into
Manchester.
A branch to Buxton is in contemplation.

The principle of this railway is to obtain a direct through line be-
tween some of the most important districts in the kingdom with the'
least possible amount of new railway, and, consequently, the smallest
expenditure of capital.
It will also establish the shortest direct communication between
Derby and London, Sheffield and London, and between all the towns
on the North Midland Railway and London.

The Manchester, Derby, and Rugby Railway, will open a direct
communication between Manchester and Derby, and will consider-
ably shorten the distance between Manchester and Nottingham and
Manchester and Leicester._

J•l 64...,..,., V..
The line from Derby to Rugby will establish the direct communi-
cation from that town to London, which has been so long considered
desirable by the inhabitants.
The came will apply to Sheffield, when the Sheffield and Chester-
field branch of the North Midland Railway is made.
The Rugby, Derby, and Manchester Railway, in connexion with
the Oxford and Rugby, and Oxford, Southampton, and Gosport Rail-
way, forms a direct Manchester and Southampton line.
