PROSPECTUS.
This important line. the only one having for its object the direct
sommunication between South Wales, Birmingham, the Midland
Counties, Liverpool, Manchester, and the North, will commence at
Hereford, and passing to the Vale of the Severn via Bewdley. Bridg-
nonh, Broseley, Iron Bridge, and Colebrooke Dale, take a direct
route through or near Wellington and Market Drayton to Crewe, or
to Runcorn, whence the existing lines will continue the traffic to
Liverpool, Manchester, and the North. At Bewdley there will be a
Branch Line through Kidderminster to Birmingham and the Mid-
land Counties.
Reference to the map will show that three projected Railways
converge at Hereford, viz :—The South Wales line from the coast, at
Newport. via Monmouth ;1 the Bristol lines from Bristol, over the
Severn ; and the Great Eastern and Western from Swansea, by way
of Merthyr and Abergavenny. This grand trunk will, therefore,
connect with the North and Central portions of the kingdom, by the
nearest practicable route, Bristol, the West of England, and the
whole of South Wales, containing a vast population and extensive
Iron, copper, tin-plate, and coal works, numerous and important
Ports, including Milford Haven, and the Government Dock-yard,
and concentrate to itself the great Passenger and Goods traffic now
conveyed by various circuitous routes to and fro.
This line, too, will unite the Iron districts of South Wales with
those of Staffordshire and Shropshire.
Apart from the ordinary incentives to travelling, the beautiful
scenery of South Wales and the various watering-places will add
considerably to the passenger traffic on this line.
A more than usual revenue may be calculated upon in the goods
traffic, arising from the extensive connexion existing between South
Wales and the important termini, conveyiag, as this communication
will, the various productions of iron, copper, coal, tin plates, &c. to
the north, and woollens, cottons, salt, hardware, pottery ware,
cattle, and agricultural produce, required for the several counties,
districts, and towns, accommodated by this line, westward ; with the
advantage of 'delivery in a few hours, free from the risks and delays
of a sea voyage, and at one-third the distance.
The conveyance of coals to the cc unties through which these lines
run will also be a means of considerable and increasing revenue ;
whilst the supplies to the barren districts of the iron works of agri-
cultural produce will add to the profit, as well as unite by ties of
mutual interest the agricultural and commercial community.
By means of this projection, portions of the kingdom not so pro-
vided by any other scheme, will participate in the advantages of
railway communication ; and it will also form hereafter, with other
railways about to be commenced, the nearest route to London for a
very extensive portion of the country.
Founded on the principle of direct and comprehensive communica-
tion with distant parts of the kingdom, this line will be the most
complete In the empire, and, carried as it can and will be, in almost a
straight line, must thus secure itself for the future against the com-
petition of any rival projection.
At the same time every regard has been had to local accommoda-
tion, and the closest scrutiny will convince those who know the
wants and requirements of the towns and districts embraced within
Its seope, that this has been most amply provided for.
Until an Act of Parliament shall be obtained, the affairs of the
Company shall be under the management and control of the Com-
mittee of Management, who are hereby empowered to enter into
much arrangements as shall best serve the interests of this Company
and the public, with existing or projected companies ; and to raise
additional capital, if required, to extend this line ; and also to nomi-
nate the first Directors of the Company.
Should the Commission now sitting not disturb the gauge of the
South Wales Railway Bill passed this session, it is Intended to adopt
the wide gauge, to avoid the inconvenience of different gauges.
Power will be taken under the Act to limit the responsibility of
Shareholders to the amount of their Subscription, and to allow four
per oent. interest on the calls.
The Lino presents no engineering difficulties ; and as the Land-
holders (having been canvassed) are favourable:to the Line, a return,
equal to any Railway in the Kingdom, may be relied on from the
outlay.
Preference In the allotment of Shares will be given to those locally
interested, and to the Shareholders of Lines in connexion with this,
the Grand Junction, South Wales, &c.
The Parliamentary Contract and Subscribers' Agreement will be
ready for signature on payment of the deposits.
No applications for shares can in any case be attended to unless
reference be made to one of the Provisional Committee, the Solicitors,
