This line bas been projected for the purpose of forming the most
direct communication between Birmingham and the Midland •Cona-
ties, and tke important and rising port of Aberystwith and the sea-
coast of 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 Cloobury Mortimer to Ludlow, where it will form a
junction with the Worcester and Portilynnaen, and Bridgnorth,
Ludlow, and Wolverhampton Railways. From Ludlow it will follow
the line of the present mail read, along the Valley of the Tema to
Knighton, from which place it is intended to throw 'off a branch to
the Craven Arms, to rna into the Shropshire Mineral Railway, which
has its terminus at that. place. The line will proceed from
Knighton to Llanidloes, where it will join the projected Manchester
and Aberystwith Railway, and proceed along that line for the re-
mainder of the distance. The use of all projected lines being thus
sought for, the part to bo made will not exceed sixty miles ; and as
surveyor: aro already upon the line, the plans, &c., will all be ready
to go to Parliament in the ensuing session.
The advantages of the present line over any other pre jeeted rail-
way between Birmingham and Aberystwith 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, acid 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
.Cardignpshire, and the limestone of Radnorshire to Shrop-
shire, and the whole of the midland counties ; while; :NI the other
hand, by the branch from the Craven Anna, 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 traffic 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 inn's-
.ential local support, so as to ensure its complete success.
There are no engineering difficulties of any magnitude, and so
ornamental property will bo invaded. Should the atmospheric pind-
' pie be fully tested and be found to answer, it will be adopted on this
line.
The responsibility of the shareholders will be limited to the amount
of their subscriptions, and power,will be taken in the Act to allow in-
terest at four per cent. on the calla. The Committee .reserve the
usual power to amalgamate with any other existing Company or
Companies, to limit or vary the line, as to them shall seem most
expedient, In order to carry out the objects of the Company.
