This short but very important Line of Railway willia .
commence at
Binu
the nearest point on the Trent Valley Railway to the City of Lich-
field, and proceed through a rich and populous country, by seez,tone,
Sutton Coldfleld, and Erdington, to the town of Barining•lifm.
The length of the Line will be only :dor' sixteen miles, and a•
glance at the map will suffice to show the very numerous advan-
tages which this Railway offers. The projected " South Union Rail-
way," from Manchester, joins or fall into the Trent Valley Railway
just below Lichfield, and, proceeding alcng the Trent Valley I.ine,
via Tamworth and Rugby, will, form the shortest ar.d most direct
route from Manchester to Landon, but will leave Birmingham on the
west, which can only be reached by the circuitous route through.
Tamworth, a distance of twenty -five miles.
The proposed Birmingham and Lichfield Railway will effect an ex-
tension of the Smith Union, North Staffordshire, and other projected
Railways, from Lichfield in a direct Line to Birmingham, and thus
save no less than nine miles in the twenty-five, and constitute the
shortest and best line between Manchester and Birmingham yet de-
vised.
