The object of this important scheme is the establishment of a direct
line if communication between Birmingham and Birkenhead by the
nearest possible route, and at the smallest possible outlay. The great
advantages of such a project arc, that with the least possible amount
of injury to existing interests, the public will realise all the benefit of
an entirely new, direct, and Independent line
FROM LONDON AND BIRMINGHAM TO BIRKENHEAD,
FROM LONDON AND BIRMINGHAM TO HOLYHEAD.
And on the completion of the proposed Birkenhead and Liverpool
Railway-bridge, the shortest and mnst direct route
FROM LONDON TO LIVERPOOL.

The line to be constructed by this Company will be about 45
miles in length. It is proposed to make use of the railway commu-
nication already existing between London and Birmingham, and
Birmingham and Wolverhampton, and thence to throw out a con-
tinued line through Market Drayton to Chester, where a junction
will be effected with the railway already existing between that city
and 13iikenhead. By this means about 15 miles will be saved be-
tween Birmingham and Birkenhead, about 25 mi`es between Bir-
mingham and Liverpool, and many miles between Birmingham and
Holyhead. The distance between London and these places will be
shortened in like proportion.
Not only is such a line greatly needed, but the scbente is fraught
with consequences of the highest possible amount to the commercial
interests of the country.
