TT is admitted that a more direct Line of communication
between Liverpool and Preston and the North is much
wanted, and that it is (:esirable there should be a Railway
communication from Manchester to Southport, this Com.
pany is therefore formed for the purpose of accomplishing
these objects, which it proposes to do at less cost than any
other Line as yet before the public, and without inter-
fering to the same extent with the interests of existing
Companies.
It is intended to commence the main Line at a point
on the Liverpool and Bury Line, now before Parliament,

,ne Liverp .01 terininus; proceedirq
asses east of Waddicar and Dlelling•cnm

ward, ity

ufford to a

runs into the North Union Railway, at the
he Bolton and Preston Railway near

Junction of

Euxton Statiff

The distance from Kirkby to the Junction of the Bolton
and Preston Line with the North Union Railway is abort

_ .
17i miles, and that length of Line will only be required
to effect, in connection w►th the Liverpool and Bury and

North Union Lines,

a direct

,iverpoo

traversed in one hour at the most.
It is also proposed to connect Southport, with Or mskirk,
Wigan, Mean, Manchester, and other populous districts,
by making Branches from the main Line at Ormskirk,
passing south of Scarisbrick Park to Southport, and east-
wardly, towards Skelmersdale, meeting the proposed
Branch of the Liverpool and Bury Line at a convenient
point near Blaguegate Collieries.
The Passenger Traffic betwee❑ the localities connected
by this Line of Railway is at present very considerable,
and will be much increased when the Lines in the course
of construction and those proposed form an unbroken
Railway communication between Liverpool, Preston, Lan-
caster, Carlisle, Newcastle, Glasgow, Edinburgh, and the
whole of the North of Great Britain.
In conjunction with the Preston and Wyre Railway to
Fleetwood, this proposed Line will form a mode of con-
veyance for Passengers and Goods to Belfast and the
North of Ireland.
The facility of communication which this Lire affords to
the valuable 'Coal fields of Bickerstaffe, Latham, and the
rest of this important Coal district, insures to the proprie-
tors the most important advantages.
There are no difficult or expensive Engineering Works
on the Line, thus rendering it all but certain that the esti-
mate of £350,000 is amply sufficient, which, when com-
pared with some of the projects now before the public,
shows a very considerable saving in the cost of obtainitg a
DIRECT communication.
The Branches to Southport and Wigan will afford
mutual advantages, as they offer easy access to the de-
lightful and much-frequented watering place of Southport,
and a very great increase on the present traffic may fairly
be calculated upon.
The. estimate of revenue, based upon the existing
traffic, shows a good return for the capital invested.
Means will be taken to obtain an Act of Parliament in
the ensuing Session, with the customary clauses for
restricting the liability of each Shareholder, and it is pro-
posed to allow 4 per cent. interest on the paid-up capital.
A number of Shares in this Line will be reserved for
the Shareholders of Lines immediately connected with it.
