This line has been projected for the purpose of forming the west
direct communication between Birmingluun and the Midland Cam-
ties, and like important and rising pert of Aberyatwith and the sea-
coast if Wales.
. . .

It is intended to commence at the junction of the Welch Midland
and Stour Valley Railways (both of which have projected lines to
Birmingham), between Kidderminster and Bewdley, and proceed from
thence through Cleobury Mortimer to Ludlow, where it will form a
junction with the Worcester and Portdyullaen, and Iridgnorth,
Ludlow, and Wolverhampton Railways. From Ludlow it will follow
the line of the present mail road, along the Valley of the Teme to
Knighton, from which place it is intended to throw off a branch to
the Craven Arms, to run into the Shropshire Mineral Railway, which
has its terminus at that place. The line will proceed freak
Knighton to Llanidloes. where it will join the projected Manchester
and Aberystwith Railway, and proceed along that line fir the re-
mainder of the distance. The use of all projected lines being tins
sought for, the part to be made will not exceed sixty miles ; and as
surveyors are already upon the line, the plans, ice., will all be ready
to go to Parliament in the ensuing session.
The advantages of the present line over any other projected rail-
way between Birmingham and Abei•ystwith are :—That It is the
most direct route between the respective termini ; that it passes
through a district at present unprovided with railway accommoda-
tion ; that by it and the Birmingham, Stamford, and Boston lines, a
regular chain of railway communication is opened between, St.
George's Channel and the German Ocean; and by the Great
Eastern and Western line a communication is also opened with
Yarmouth,. Norwich, and King's Lynn ; that it will open the slate
mines of Cardiganshire, and the limestone of Radnorshire to Shrop-
shire, and the whsle of the midland counties ; while, on the other
band, by the branch from the Craven Arms, the coals of Shropshire
will be brought into Radnorshire, Montgomeryshire, and Cardigan-
shire, where that article does not exist, at little more than one-third
of its present cost. From these and other sources of trollies it must
be obvious that a high rate of interest upon the capital embarked
may be depended upon.
The line throughout the whole distance meets with the most Influ-
ential local support, so as to ensure its complete success.
• There are no engineering difficulties of any magnitude, and le
ornamental property will be invaded- Should the atmospherics pine!.
ple be fully tested and be found to answer, it will be adopted oa this
The responsibility of the shareholders will be Hittite& to the amount
of their subscriptions, and puwer.will be taken in the Aet to allow in-
terest at four per cent. on the calls. The Committee reserve the
usual power to amalgamate with any other existing Company or
Companies, to llisit or vary the line, as to them shall seem most
expedient, in order to carry out the objects of the Company.
