This line has been projected for the purpose of forming the most
direct communication lsetween Birmingham and the Midland Coun-
ties, and the important and rising pert of Aberystwith and the sea-
coast of Wales.
It is intended to commence at the junction of the Welch Midland
and Stour Valley Railways (both of which have projected lines to
Birmingham), between Kidderminster and Bewdley, and proceed from
thence through Cleebury Mortimer to Ludlow, where it will form a
junction with the Worcester and Portdynnaen, and Bridgnorth,
Ludlow, and Wolverhampton Railways. From Ludlow it will follow
the line of the present mail road, along the Valley of the Teme to
Knighton, from which place it is intended to throw off a branch to
the Craven Arms, to run into the Shropshire Mineral Railway, which
has its terminus at that place. The line will proceed from
Knighton to Llanidloes, where it will join the projected Manchester
and Aberystwith Railway, and proceed •along that line for the re-
mainder of the distance. The use of all projected lines being thus
delight for, the part to be made will not exceed sixty miles ; and as
surveyors are already upon the line, the plans, &c., will all be ready
to go to Parliament in the ensuing session.
The advantages of the present line over any other projected rail-
way between Birmingham and Aberystwith are :—That It is the
most direct route between the respective termini ; that it passes
through a district at present nnprovided with railway accommoda-
tion ; that by it and the Birmingham, Stamford, and Boston lines, a
regular chain of railway communication is opened between St.
George's Channel and the German Ocean; and by the Great
Eastern and Western line a communication is also opened with
Yarmouth, Norwich, and King's Lynn ; that it will open the slate
mines of Cardiganshire, and the limestone of Radnorshire to Shrop-
shire, and the whole or the midland counties ; while, on the ether
hand, by the branch from the Craven Arms, the coals of Shrepehire
will be brought into Radnorshire, Montgomeryshire, and Cardigan-
shire, where that article does not exist, at little more than one-third
of its present cost. From these and other sources of traffic it must
be obvious that a high rate of interest upon the capital embarked
difficulties of any magnitude, and no
may be depended upon.
