The half year meeting at Manchester saw Mr Watkin praise rising traffic and profits while warning against overoptimism from new lines. He attacked the Great Eastern Northern Junction scheme and London and North Western moves on Timperley Garston, urged independence for Liverpool Manchester routes, and noted steamboat bill impacts and dividends.
