This line will commence at the terminus of the Manchester and
Birmingham Railway at Macclesfield, and passing by the Rudyard
reservoir to Leek, will proceed by the Churnet Valley to Conseil,
thence close to Cheadle, and Teen, and by littoxeter, Itagots Woods
and Abbots Bromley down the Blythe, to a point on the Trent Valley
Railway, near Lichfield,- communicating there with one of the pro-
posed lines from Dudley and Walsall.
A. glance at the map will show that this will be the most direct
line for the London and Manchester traffic ; uniting those two great
terniinl by the ihwiest practicable route in connexion with existing
railways. It will also completely accommodate the local traffic and
manufactures; and open several extensive coal- fields and some thou-
sand acres of wood land for the supply of Manchester, the Potteries,
and .other great marts of the kingdom. Together, too, with the pro-
posed line from Derby to Crewe, it will afford a transit from the
Eastern Counties nd Derby to Manchester, and give every accom-
modation to the Potteries.

This line is, hi its principal feature's, much the same as that already
approved of by the iloari of Trade, and partially abandoned by the
Churnet .Valley Company—will be scarcely 47 miles in length, and
passing through the centre of the district, does not interfere with the
Grand Junction, or any other existing railway. It is material to re-
mark, th,it it is even more direct than the Churnet Valley as formerly
projected to Tamworth, and' is free from the formidable opposition of
the landed Interest, and the engineering difficulties consequent on the
route by ltoeester and Marchington. It must be observed also that
It is /he only railway which has been brought forward by, and is
under the control of, the landowners and manufacturers of the Churnet
and Blythe Valley districts.

The e.-operatiOn of most of the principal landowners, from near
Uttoxeter to near Lichfhld, having been obtained, and there being
no competing lines projected through that district, this portion of the
hue may be considered as secure.
