PROSPECTUS.

This line is intended as a connecting link between the Trent
Valley and Wolverhampton, Chester, and Birkenhead Junction Rail-
ways. It will commence at Stafford, and terminate at Market
Drayton, and is essentially requisite to perfect the communication
between London, Chester, and Holyhead.
Though the line will not exceed thirteen miles in length, it will
afford immense accommodation to an important district of Stafford-
shire and Shropshire, through which it will pass; and by means of
the lines with which it is intended to communicate, it will effect the
shortest possible route from London to Liverpool, from London to
Birkenhead, and from London to Ireland. A saving of not less than
thirty miles will thus be accomplished.
It will thus become a most important adjunct to the proposed
Wolverhampton, Chester, and Birkenhead Junction Railway ; but
the prominent feature in the scheme is this—that by bringing
Stafford into immediate conjunction with Market Drayton and
Chester, all the advantages of the proposed Trent Valley Continua-
tion Line to Holyhead, will be realised without the enormous sacrifice
of time and capital inseparable from the carrying out of such a
project, which, however, is impracticable.
It is obvious that such a scheme will be of the utmost general
benefit, as it will materially shorten the distance between the capitals
of Englsnd and Ireland, and tend to a still further development of the
great industrial resources of the two countries. As an investment,
its eligibility cannot be disputed, as the following lines of railway will
he important tributaries to its revenue:—The London and Birming-
ham, Trent Valley, Great Western, Birmingham, Oxford and
11,-ighton, Birmingham an I Southampton, Oxford, Worcester, and
l's!,iverhampton, Birmingham, Dudley and Wolverhampton, Bir •
minghani, Bristol, and Gloucester, and Grand Junction Railways.
The lines in the vicinity of Liverpool will also become valuable tribu-
taries to it.
Although this line is proposed by a Company distinct from that of
the Wolverhampton, Chester, and Birkenhead Junction Railway, yet,
if it should be found expedient and practicable, the two Companies
may be amalgamated. At all events, the shareholderstilersverhampton, Chester, and Birkenhead Company, will hail t pre-
ference in the allotment.
It is intended to proceed to Parliament in the ensuing session, as
the plans and surveys are in a very forward state.
