NUNEATON, BEDWORTH, AND COVENTRY BRANCH.

The Directors of the Leicester and Birmingham Railway Company,
having had surveys made of the country between Nuneaton, Bed-
worth, and Coventry, with the view of giving a dirict communica-
tion between those important districts and Leicester and Birming-
ham, and having included the same in their Parliamentary Deeds,
felt it their duty to oppose before Parliament the proleet tbr making a
Railway from Coventry to Bulkington, miscalled " The Coventry,
Bedworth, and Nuneaton Railway." This opposition was completely
successful, and the Bill thrown out ; and the Directors of the. Leices-
ter and Birmingham. observing that other parties are now taking up
their project between Nuneaton and Coventry, give notice that it is
their full intention to carry out their Direct " Nuneaton, Bedworth,
and eoventry Branch," in connexion with their Leicester and Bir-
mingham line, affording the best and most beneficial route for pas-
senger and mineral traffic.
