The object of this important scheme is the establishment of a direct
line of comthiltileatioli between Birmingham and Birkenhead by the
nearest possible route, and at the smallest possible outlay. The great
advantages of such a project arc, that with the least possible amount
of injury to existing interests, the public will realise all the benefit of
an entirely new, direct, and independent line
FROM LONDON AND BIRMINGHAM TO BIRKENHEAD,
FROM LONDON AND BIRMINGHAM TO HOLYHEAD.
And on the completion of the proposed Birkenhead and Liverpool
Railway-bridge, the shortest and must direct route
FROM LONDON TO LIVERPOOL.
