London and Birmingham Railway, where it will communicate with ,
the Northampton and Peterborough line; it will then proceed west-
ward. crossing the Oxford and Rugby line at or near Fenny-Compton
to Stratford-on-Avon, there joining the proposed line from Warwick
and Leamington to Cheltenham, Gloucester, Bristol, and the West of
England ; continuing its course through Alcester, the line will go di-
rect to Worcester, and thus terminate at the great centre of traffic
for the mineral and manufacturing districts of South Staffordshire,
Shropshire, and North and South Wales. This proposed line does
not interfere with any existing railways, and presenting, as it does,
an unbroken line between two great centres of traffic, the importance
of the undertaking needs no further comment.
Negotiations have been entered into with the Eastern Coun-
ties Railway Company, by which their support and co-operation will
be ensured for obtaining the line now proposed.
An arrangement has also been made with the proposed Rugby,
Warwick, and Worcester Company, which this line will join at Al-
cester, and by means of which the Eastern Counties' traffic will pro-
ceed to Worcester.
Power will be reserved to the Directors to amalgamate with any
other existing or projecting Companies, or to vary the line.
