t;:he line of Railway proposed between Uttoxeter and Dudley has
t,.Jh uing
at the suggestion of several influential parties, as
(without being a competing lino with any railway at p -e-
-inade) all the advantages of several projected lines, with addi-
tkis of no ordinary value. The town of Uttoxeter, in the Dove Val-
-4:- is itself the centre of a rich agricultural district, supplying al-
h„'` the markets of Dudley, Tipton, Walsall, Bilstan, and Wednes-
,,'. , with cheese, cattle, and agricultural produce, but by a very
,Pinsive and dilatory Made of transit. All the proposed lines
nest
-with Manchester, London, and the Potteries, ,
tl,l''t- necessarily pass to or near Uttoxeter. Already the Chur-
-44, Valley, Derby 'nd. Stafford, Derby and Crewe, Tea%
Dove Valley, Noa
rth Staffordshire, Manchester Direct Inde-
b.telent, Leicester and Ashby lines of railway, project a station at
Xeter. Asstimlng.either of these former, or some equivalent, to
t
17is this will be the best route from Manchester, Macclesfield, the
tt.cltteries, Hull, Sheffield, and the north to the mineral districts of
Nviith Staffordshire, and to Kidderminster, Worcester, and South
liy'l,,s• By the Leicester and Ashby line, which will comnicate
its branch to Uttoxeter, traffic of great part of thee ast of
t!mgland will be available for Staffordshire and the west.
kohinencin., at Uttoxeter, the line 'will be carried over
It'''Xtrable ground to Abbott's Bromley, thence to Rugeley, whore
ti will fall into the Trent Valley Railway Station, by Channock
\Nriaie, along the Rising Wok Valley to Hednesford, and thence by
it across the Grand Junction itailway, through Wednesbury
, the mineral districts of South Staffordshire to Dudley; there it
4.4 Join all those railways that will connect the Staffordshire coal-
-44'1 with Worcester, Ludlow, and I'orthdynllaen on the south-west,
Guth et Merthyr' Tytivil, Swansea, Hereford, on the west and
et• 41,11. In fact, it will smite by the nearest route the cast and 'west
tugland.
~,10 line will fall into and cross the Trent Valley, Midlands, and
d Junction Railway at Walsall, and from Cannock afford direct
}:philiunication with Wolverhampton (where it will run into the
tivad gauge railway) from Leeds, and Huddersfield, and the north
"" east of England.
„ar•CbePopulation on the line exceeds 300,900, and the ordinary traffic
vc.:''lng from internal sources alone is sufficient to maintain the rail-
and afford more than ample remuneration to the shareholders.
a Junction line (with the present immensely increasing public
gar to railway travelling) it is scarcely possible to compute the
'-'*'?tint of passenrer traffic, but it must necessarily be very great.
0,11,5 e this line was registered, a company has been formed for ex-
ts,Pding it by a junction at Uttoxeter, to Huddersfield, Leeds, and
ktftield, by way of A.shhourn, and by this meanmmense mines of
40, iron, :stone, and coal of Derbyshire, the products of the paint
iinufactorics aid barytes works at Ashbourne, Cromford, &c., will
11,ed, and with those already in work, find a ready transit to
and Birmingham, Dudley, and Wolverhampton. The in-
-1,74e of passengers, attracted by ready means of conveyance to the
,`4llantle country of Dovedale, and the High Peak, will be necessarily
'TY greet.
lt,The copper, ore, lime, and coal, abounding in the Caldon and the
ilt),cien mines, will be transmitted by this line to the manufacturing
tpriete of Staffordshire, Warwickshire, and South Wales, and it will
4111 a direct communication between Leeds, Huddersfield, and
f,;',4thampten, and it will also be the nearest route to Southampton
1))111 Manchester, via Uttoxeter, by the London and Manchester
I,El:ea Independent Line, or whatever railway should ultimately
Dbetween Manchester and London, as forming the shortest route
~the metropolis, a line which, it is now admitted on all hands, must
carried.

ete tile lino from Dudley to or near the Droitwich station. on the
s'iriningliam and Gloucester Railway.
