The promoter's of this Railway, encouraged by the favourable sup-
port which has been given to the project, and in compliance with
various recommendations they have received, ha-e deter Mined upon
the addition of a branch- •to Birkenhead, which, although it will
manifestly tend to the advantage of the Shareholders and the public,
will be attended with come aratively little additional outlay. The
project will still retain its chief characteristic of a direct railway,
and by its connexion, near Warrington, with the Grand Junction
Company, is sufficiently comprehensive, without resorting to a com-
plicated system of branch lines, or materially conflicting with the in-
terests of existing companies.
The line will commence at the city of Chester, and proceed by way
of Trafford, Frodsham, and Preston Brook, to. Warrington, thence
by Lymm and Stretford direct to Manchester. From a point on the
main line, near Frodsham, a branch will be taken to join the Chester
and Birkenhead Railway, so as to 'unite Manchester in the most
direct manner possible, with the docks now being formed at Bir-
kenhead. •- • .
