This line of railway will commence at the junction of the Man-
chester and Birmingham, Chester and Crewe, and Grand Junction
Railways, at Crewe, in the county of Cheater, and proceed from
thence through or near the towns of Market Drayton, Newport, and
Shiffnal, in Shropshire, thence through the flourishing town of Kid-
derminster, to Worcester and Tewkesbury, and to the Bristol Rail-
way at Gloucester. By this means it will form the most direct
route from Manchester, Leeds, Liverpool, Hull, and Chester to the
Important ports of Gloucester and Bristol, indeed the most direct
line from the north of England to the Bristol Channel. It will also,
In conjunction wtih the proposed Hereford and Worcester, and Swan-
