The title of this line sufficiently and correctly explains the object
of the undertaking. tr
The Birmingham terminus will be placed 1. communication with
all the other railways having a station in that town, and will be
brought as near as practicable to its centre. Proceeding thence in a
northerly direction, and on the west side of the Lichfield road, it will
pass within a short distance of Sutton Coldfleld, and to Lichfield, at
the latter of which places there will be a tation in communication
with the projected Walsall lines.
Thence crossing the Trent Valley, near King's Bromley, it will
pursue the course of the Blythe Valley, or by or near to Abbots
rasrunney 1... v. Blvtba Valba by a
short cutting reach the Teen station on Herrington sLondon and
Manchester line at the junction of the Crewe branch, or by a junc-
tion with whichever of the projected lines to Manchester may be
adopted by Parliament.
The entire length of the new line to be made will not exceed
thirty-four miles, and the whole will be carried over a most favour-
able country—two-thirds being a water-level.
Sections of a great portion of the line have been made, and the en-
tire Parliamentary survey will be completed by the 9th ofOctober.
This railway will afford'a route from Birmingham to Manchester
eleven miles shorter than by any existing or projected line. It will
also give the best and nearest line between Huddersfield, and Bir-
mingham.
It will also furnish a nearer and more direct route from Birming-
ham to the Potteries than any line made or projected by several
miles, assuming any of the projected Pottery lines to have their ter-
mini at Colwicb, on the Trent Valley, or at Stafford, on the Grand
Junction Railway ; thus giving to Manchester, and a:so the Pot-
teries, the shortest, easiest, and most direct route to Birmingham.
It will also give the nearest line between Huddersfield and Birming-
ham and Southampton.
This railway crosses the projected Leeds and Huddersfield and
Wolverhampton Direct Railway. In the Blythe Valley a station will
be placed, and communication effected, so as to afford to Birmingham
the shortest route by many miles. with Leeds, Huddersfield, Sheffield,
and the northern parts of England. In allotting shares every legi-
timate preference will be given to the landholders on the line.
It is obvious that the projected line will afford an ample return to
the shareholders.
For prospectuses, shares, and every information, apply to the
solicitors, W. Arnold Bainbrigge, Esq., Uttoxeter ; or at the Offices
of the Company, No. 1, Moorgate, London.
