This line will diverge from the line of the Great Eastern and
Western Railway, near Worcester, and proceeding by Brcm-
yard, will end at Leominster, at which point it will unite with the
proposed lines connecting Hereford and Shrewsbury with North
Wales.
The communication by railway between these important towns
and the continuous hop and cider districts has been entirely left
unprovided for by existing arrangements, and this line is brought
forward under the auspices of the Great Eastern and Western
Railway Company, on the strong representations and request of a
large and most influential body of the landed gentry of the neigh-
bourhood.
The object proposed is to make a direct communication between
Leominster, Bromyard, and Worcester, which latter town has always
been the natural market for the produce of these districts, and to af-
ford the inhabitants the most direct communication with London, as
compared with other lines, by upwards of 30 miles.
No person will be liable for more than his deposit till the act is ob-
tained, and power will be applied for to allow interest at 41. per cent.
on all calls from the time of, their respective payments, as well as to
limit the liability of the shareholders to the amount of their subscrip-
tions.

.It is proposed thal the course of this line shall be from the Wor-
cester station of the Oxford, Worcester, and Wolverhampton Rail-
way to a point near Malvern, where the line will be divided into two
branches • the one branch proceeding through or near the parish of
Rostburyfrom whence thero.wlli be a branch to Ledlmry) to Here-
ford, where it will run into the station of the Great Western Com-
pany's Monmouth and Hereford Railway, and the projected Hereford
and Shrewsbury Railway.
The other branch will proceed from the point of division near Mal-
vern straight to Gloucester, and will join the Gloucester and Dean
Forest Railway near that city.
This line will pass rather more than half a mile below Great Mal-
vern, and not far distant from the town of ITpton-on-Severn, both of
which places are at present entirely shut out from the benefits of rail-
way communication.
The country has already been inspected, under the direction of the
engineer, and it is found that there are no engineering difficulties of
a serious character to be overcome ; and indeed the greater portion of
the line presents a course extremely favourable for a railway, the
gradients being very easy.
Near the point of division at Malvern the Hereford line will cross
a portion of the Malvern range by one or more tunnels; but the
whole length of the tunnelling wili.not much exceed one mile. From
the other side of Malvern to Hereford the surface ofthe country is as
favourable as could be desired.
The Gloucester line, from the point of division to its terminus, will
pass through a country peculiarly favourable, the surface being
throughout nearly one continuous level.
With regard to the immediate local advantages offered by the
proposed railway, it will effect the most direct communicatiou be-
tween the cities of Worcester and Hereford, and Gloucester and
Worcester, and between those cities:lnd the delightful watering place
and favonrite summer residence of Great Malvern, to which it will

rilso give an easy and expeditious access from other popolous but
mare remote districts. .

The important market town of Ledbury, with the rich corn, fruit,
and hop district around it, will also be brought into closer and more
profitable connexion with the three cities ; and it cannot fail to make
a considerable addition to the traffic between Worcester and the Port
of Gloucester.
The facilities presented by the proposed railway for increasing and
developing traffic in a more general and national point of view, are
of a very extended character. Joining the Forest of Dean and Mon-
mouth Railways, it will afford a ready means of transit to South
Wales, and by its junction with the Oxford, Worcester, and Wolver-
hampton line, and with the projected line to Port Dynnlaen, it will
give railway communication with the manufacturing and mining
oistricts of the north of England—especially of South Staffordshire
and Worcestershire, and also with North Wales and Ireland; and by
means of the Great Western Railway, which it joins at Gloucester, it
will complete au unbroken broad gauge line from Wolverhampton to
Exeter in the one direction, and from Pembroke to Wolverhampton
in the other. It will effect a considerable saving in distance between

„,
the port port of Gloucester and Wolverhampton, and all parts of the north ;
it will he the nearest possible route from the extreme west of Eng-
land, and from South Wales, to all places north of Wolverhampton.
The enumeration of the places and districts to be traversed by the
proposed line, and a description of its course, sufficiently indicate that
it may fairly be expected to command a remunerating amount of
traffic.
It will supply to the port of Gloucester important amr7bulky articles
of expert, drawn from the mining and manufacturing district of
South Staffordshire and Worcestershire ; and will still further deve-
lop the resources of those districts by increased facility of communi-
cation with their natural port. The importance of this branch of the
traffic can scarcely be over-estimated : in one portion of the district
between Wolverhampton and Stourbridge, there arc
about 100 blast furnaces In work, producing nearly 500,000 tons of
pig iron annually, and It is admitted that the want of railway facili-
ties have hitherto greatly hindered the development of an important
export trade from this district. The works at Droitwich and Stoke
Prior can furnish any quantity of salt. The carpet manufactories :of
Kidderminster, the iron and glass works at Stourbridge, Dudley, and
their populous neighbourhood, will also supply an important amount
of traffic,-eertainly far beyond that now carried on with the present
insufficient means of transit between those places and the district to
be affected by the proposed line.
The Hereford branch of the line offers to the agriculturists of the.
counties of. Hereford, Radnor, and Brecon the advantages of cheap
and ready means of access to their principal markets. It will be an
Important advantage to them to have their cattle, corn, hops, fruit,
wool, and other produce, speedily and cheaply conveyed to the great
markets of Worcester and Birmingham, and the towns in the centre
of the great manufacturing population of Staffordshire and Worces-
tershire ; the advantages, too, will be mutual, as the line will afford
equal facilities for the conveyance of the miners and manufacturing
produce, of the north to the rural districts.
The population of the districts affected by the proposed line, ree-
kolling Prom Wolverhampton to Gloucester on the one hand, and from
the same place to Hereford on the other, is not less than 400,000; and
from the position of the country traversed, the line must be fed by
all the railways constructed, or to be formed, on either side. There
can, therefore, be no reasonable doubt of the Worcester, Hereford,
and Gloucester line commanding a traffic so consideratole as to yield an
ample remuneration for the requisite capital.
