Heavy Holiday Travel Is Indicated

■ » - — ' Bookings for Easter travel have been heavy and little ac^ommodation remains unbooked. All trains are booked out in the first class, and while there is some second class accommodation left on |- all. the main North Island routes j from Wellington, it is by no means plentiful. | All the four trains to Auckland on Thursday are fully bodked |except the last, on which a few I second class seats are left". The night train to New Plymouth the same day is full, but some second class seats are available' on tlie

morning train. The same applies to Napier Nine trains'. 1 All railcar services are full, as is the 4.32 p.m. to the Wairarapa, but there are still second class seats on the 6.30 p.rn. train to the Wairarapa. There are no first class seats on any of the rail routes until Wednesday, March 31. . Air services are- fully booked ovei the hojiday weekend. These include extra runs on the-Dunedin-Christ-church-Wellington7Auckland route and in the Nelson service. By sea, the position is much the same. Both the Lyttelton and Nelson steamer services are crowded on the night trips, but the daylight runs in the Lyttelton service— both ways on Thursday-, March '25 and Tuesday, March 30— have a fair amount of room left.
