NEW CARRIAGES
IMPROVEMENT IN .RAIL TRAVEL WELCOME NEWS FOR BAY OF PLENTY RESIDENTS ( Train journeys, at the best of times, are mostly tedious, but in the new, comfortable carriages added last week to the Taneatua express travellers may enjoy quite o restful ride. _ Inconvenience due to speed has never been a complaint but until , last week there was much of dirt and discomfort. The new carriages , do away with all that sort of thing and the Bay of Plenty comes into ( its own. ] Of similar type to those on ?jhe ( Main Trunk line, the seats are up- _ bolstered in fawn leather, with cushioned headrests and can be adjusted to a reclining position. On , the seat in front, in addition to'the ordinary footrest, there is a chromium rod in a comfortable position for the feet. Air conditioning makes unnecessary the opening of the windows and these are fixed. Mottled rubber t covers the iloor and the finishings ( are extremely neat, the whole reflecting great credit on the Department.
