THE proposed Railway is intended to commence on
the Trent Valley Railway near Stafford, and pro-
ceeding thence in an easterly direction, to pass through,
or near to, Tixall, Haywood, Colwich, and Abbotts
Bromley, to the rapidly increasing town of Burton-upon-
Trent, where it will run into the Birmingham and Derby
Railway, forming the shortest and best practicable route
from Stafford to Derby. Leaving the Birmingham and
Derby Railway at Burton-upon-Trent, it will proceed
along the Valley of the Trent by Repton, Swarkestone,
and Shardlow, to the Midland Counties Railway at the
point where that Railway forms a Junction with the
Derby and Nottingham Railway : and thus, by means of
these and other Railways in progress, form a complete
line of Railway communication between the central towns
of Stafford, Derby, Nottingham, Lincoln, Leicester,
Peterborough, and Boston, on the east, and Shrewsbury,
Chester and Holyhead, North Wales, and Ireland, on
the West.
This Railway will therefore form the only connecting
Thls • link renuired in the great chain of Railway communica-
; inn PROSPECTUS. tion from East and West through the heart of the King-
Ilip—.lNt ertant Line, the only one having for its ob- dorn, uniting the shores of the German Ocean on the
