This line of Railway will commence at the junction of the Man-
heater and Birmingham, Chester and Crewe, and Grand Junction
Railways, at Crewe, in the county of Chester, and proceed from
thence through or near the towns of Market Drayton, Newport, and
Shiffnal, In Shropshire, thence through the flourishing town of Kid-
iertninster, to Worcester and• Tewkesbury, and to the Bristol Rail-
way at Gloucester. By this means It will form the most direct
route from Manchester, Leeds, Liverpool, Hull, and Cheater to the
Important ports of Gloucester and Bristol, indeed the most direct
line from the north of England to the Bristol Channel. It will, also,
In conjunction wtih the proposed Hereford and Worcester, and Swan-
sea, Merthyr-Tydvil, and Hereford Railways, form the most advan-
tageous route from Swansea and the iron districts of South Wales,
to Liverpool, Manchester, and Hull.

The line will cross the Shrewsbury and Birmingham Railway at
Shiffnal, and the Shropshire Mineral Railway and the Treat Valley
Union at the thriving town of Newport. It will form a junction
with the two latter railways at Newport, whereby persons and lug-
gage may be conveyed to Stafford, Derby, the Midland Counties,
Staffordshire Potteries, Sheffield, and Hull ; and, in addition to the
carriage of heavy goods from Bristol, Gloucester, Worcester, and
Kidderminster, to. Manchester, Liverpool, the whole of the north of
England, and Scotland—will secure a large passenger traffic in the
district through which it passes.
The proposed railway will be about 87 miles in length, and be-
tween the two termini of Crewe and Gloucester, will save in distance
at least '2O miles, and the journey can be accomplished, at the pre-
sent rapid rate of travelling, in about two hours. This project as a
junction line, connects itself with some of the most important rail-
ways is the kingdom. It also skirts the large, extensive, and densely
populated iron districts of Shropshire and Staffordshire, and in its
course passes through a rich agricultural country. It must, there-
fore, be obvious that there will be a sufficient traffic to pay a high
rate of interest on the capital required.
There are no engineering difficulties in the country through which
the line is intended to pass, the whole being nearly on a level, and
eft reference to the map of country, taken from the Ordnance survey,
Which accompanies the prospectus, the line will appear straight, and
l
_1 at the same time show the superior advantages it possesses, and
b it
the cannot be surpassed by any existing or projected lines, between
same termini.
It will not interfere with any ornamental property, and no tunnel-
like will be required.
