This line will commence at the terminus of the Manchester and
Birmingham Railway at Macclesfield. and passing IT the Rudyard
reservoir to Leek, will proceed by the Churnet Valley to Consall,
thence close to Cheadle, and Tean, and by Uttoxeter, Bagots Woods
and Abbots Bromley down the Blythe, to a point on the Trent Valley
Railway, near Lichfield, communicating there, with one of the pro-
posed lines from Dudley and Walsall.

A glance at the map will show that this will be the most direst
line for the London and Manchester traffie; uniting those two great
termini by the shortest practicable route in connexion with existing
railways. It will also completely al commodate the local traffic and
manufactures, and open several extensive coal fields and some thou-
sand acres of wood land for the supply of Manchester, the Potteries,
and other great marts of the kingdom. Together, too, with the pro-
posed line from Derby to Crewe, it will afford a transit from the
Eastern Counties and Derby to Manchester, and give every accom-
modation to the Potteries.

This line is, in its principal features, much the same asthat already
approved of by the Board of Trade, and partially abandoned by the
Churnet Valley Company—will be scarcely 47 miles in length, and
passing through the centre of the district, does not interfere with the
Grand Junction, or any other existing railway. It is material to re-
mark, that it is even more direct than the Churnet Valley as formerly
projected to Tamworth, and is free from the formidable opposition of
the landed interest, and the engineering difficulties consequent on the
route by Rocester and Marchington. It must be observed also that

it is the only railway which has been brought forward by, and is
under the control of, the landowners and manufacturers of theChurnet
and Blythe Valley districts.

The co-operatiOn of most of the principal landowners, from near
Uttoxeter to near Lichfield, having been obtained, and there being
no competing lines projected through that district, this portion of the
line may be considered as secure.
