PRELIMINARY
The great principle on which the projectors of this important
scheme have a ted, is the establishment of a direct line of communi-
cation between Thrmingliam and Birkenhead, by the nearest possible
route, and at the smallest possible outlay. To effect this object, it is
proposed to make use either of the Grand Junction, or the Birming-
ham, Dudley, and Wolverhampton Railway, as far as Wolverhamp-
ton, and thence to throw out a new line in as straight a direction as
possible to Chester, where a junction will be formed with the railway
already existing between that city and Birkenhead. A most iinpor-
tent saving of distance will thus be effected.
It is obvious that such a scheme is fraught wills consequences of
the highest possible import to the commercial interests of the respec-
tive'illihreectgroing prosperity of Birkenhead even now
communication with the Midland, Southern,
demands
a more
Western, and Eastern Counties ; and when her magnificent docks
shall toe completed, and the town itself shall have arrived at Its des-
tin d greatness, this line will take a prominent position among the
most lucrative of these undertakings.
The Directors, therefore, conscious of the great traffic which will
flow from the densely populated termini, propose to construct this
line iu as straight a direction as possible, and thereby secure the im-
mense through traffic which will resort to this railway for shortness
and expedition, from the great manufacturing and agricultural dist',
tricts of South Staffordshire, Shropshire, Warwickshire. Worces-
tershire, Herefordshire, Monmouthshire, Leicestershire, Nottingham-
shire, Northamptonshire, and in fact the whole of the Eastern
Counties, as well as from London and the important districts to the
South, East, and West of the Metropolis.
Irrespective of the immense population of the termini, it is evident
that this projected line commends itself to the entire inhabitants of
the comities already referred to. The scheme also possesses this
further and great advantage—that it will, in reality, form a shorter
and more direct line to the neighbourhood of Liverpool and the dis-
trict
contemplated line from Chester to Holyhe ad, it will
,
possible route from London to Ireland, and thereby
avoid ai
thel oj
fa
shortest
~ tthan any which has hitherto been projected ; and by
,
avoid the delay and inconvenience of a protracted sea voyage. A
cursory inspection of the map of England and a reference to the
plan of this line will also show that the Trent Valley, London and
Birrnii,lliam, Birmingham stud Gloucester, Oxford, Worcester, and
Wolverhampton, as w 11 as tile projected Staffordshire and Shrop-
shire Railways, will necessarily be valuable tributaries to this im-
portant line cif' railway.
The line to be constructed by this Company will commence at
Wolverhampton, and proceed through an agricultural district, by
way of Market Drayton to Chester, and although in its direct course
it may not pass through many towns of importance, the engineering
difficulties of every other route will be avoided, and powerful local in-
fluence brought into co-operation with this Company.
In the formation of this use the extensive iron district of Lilies-
hail has been especially regarded ; and by means of the facilities of
transit afforded by this Company, the iron-masters of South Stafford-
shire will be enabled to compete with the Scotch market, which they
have hitherto been unable to do in consequence of the heavy charges
f r freight.
The Provisional and Managing Committee are in the course of se-
lection, and will be published In a few days, with other particulars.
