The line of Railway proposed between Uttoxeter and Dudley has
been undertaken at the suggestion of several influential parties, as
combining (without being a competing line with any railway at pre-
sent made) all the advantages of several projected lines, with addi-
tions of no ordinary value. The town of Uttoxeter, in the Dove Val-
ley, is itself the centre of a rich agricultural district, supplying al-
ready the markets of Dudley, Tipton, Walsall, Bilston, and Wednes-
bury, -with cheese, cattle, and agricultural produce, but by a very
expensive and dilatory mode of transit. All the proposed lines
communicating with Manchester, London, and the Potteries,
must necessarily pass to or near Uttoxeter. Already the Chur-
net Valley, Derby and Stafford, Derby and Crewe, Tean,
and Dove Valley, North Staffordshire, Manchester Direct Inde-
pendent, Leicester and Ashby lines of railway, project a station at
Uttoxeter. Assmning either of these former, or some equivalent, to
pass this will be the best route from Manchester, Macclesfield, the
Potteries, Hull, Sheffield, and the north to the mineral districts of
South Staffordshire, and to Kidderminster, Worcester, and South
Wales. By the Leicester and Ashby line, which will communicate
by its branch to Uttoxeter, traffic of great part of the east of
England will be available for Staffordshire and the west.
Commencing at Uttoxeter, the line will be carried over
favourable ground to Abbott's Bromley, thence to Rugeley, where
it will fall into the Trent Valley Railway Station, by Cluumock
Chase, along the Rising Brok Valley, to Hednesford, and thence by
Walsall across the Grand Junction Railway, through Wednesbury
and the mineral districts of South Staffordshire to Dudley ; there it
will join all those railways that will connect the Staffordshire coal-
field with 'Worcester, Ludlow, and Porthdynliaen on the south-west,
Aberystwith, Merthyr Tydvil, Swansea, Hereford, on the west and
south. In fact, it will unite by the nearest route the east and west
of England.
Thd line will fall into and cross the Trent Valley, Midlands, and
Grand Junction Railway at Walsall, and from Cannock afford direct
communication with Wolverhampton (where it will run into the
broad gauge railway) from Leeds, and Huddersfield, and the north
and cast of England.
The population on the line exceeds soomo, and the ordinary traffic
arising from internal sources alone is sufficient to maintain the rail-
way, and afford more than ample remuneration to the shareholders.
As a junction line (with the present immensely increasing public
favour to railway travelling) it is scarcely possible to compute the
amount of passenger traffic, but it must necessarily be very great.
Since this line was registered, a company has been formed for ex-
tending it by a junction at Uttoxeter, to Huddersfield, Leeds, and
Sheffield, by way of Ashbourn, and by this means immense mines of
lead; iron, stone, and coal of Derbyshire, the products of the paint
manufactories and barytes works at Ashbourne, Cromford, &c., will
be opened, and with those already in work, find a ready transit to
Walsall and Birmingham, Dudley, and Wolverhampton. The in-
crease of passengers, attracted by ready means of conveyance to the
romantic country of Dovedale, and the High Peak, will be necessarily
very great.
The copper ore, lime, and coal, abounding in the Caldon and the
Rilxlen mines, will be transmitted by this line to tile manufacturing
districts of Staffordshire, Warwickshire, and South Wales, and it will
afford a direct communication between Leeds, Huddersfield, and
Southampton, and it will also be the nearest route to Southampton
from Manchester, via Uttoxeter, by the London and Manchester
Direct Independent Line, or whatever railway should ultimately
pass between Manchester and London, as forming the shortest route
to the metropolis, a line which, it is now admitted on all hands, must
be carried.
This Company reserves the right to raise additional capital to com-
plete the line from Dudley to or near the Droitwich station, on the
Birmingham and Gloucester Railway.
