CRAWFORD ROAD LINE TO BE OPENED ON THURSDAY.
'Arrangements have been made to | open the new Constable Street-Craw-ford Road tramway lino on .Tuesday iSei t,". arid it is wider-stood that the event will bo marked by a brief opening, ceremony, concluding with the formal, opening of the isew section by tho Mayor (Mr. J. P. Luke). Consequent ; lipon tho opening of a restricted service over the now Wellington South-Kilbir-iiid South connection several alterations 'have boon arranged by the tramway officials. All the Lyall Bay cars will pass ito and from tho oity via . Constable Street instead of through the Kilbirme tunnel, but on Sundays the service will be via the tunnel as at present, except that on fine Sundays special Lyall Bay cars will run over the Constable Street hill.as 'well as through the tunnel. Tho fare by this new route from Kilbirme post office to John Street will be Id., and vice versa. v Wadestown cars will run from the terminus to Veitch arid Allan's Corner, and turn back again there. , There will be a five-mmute. service "along ' Upper ■ Willis Street. Cars to ■Brooklyn will return to the-Post Qf;fice and then turn back to Aro Street every other trip. This will give a ten'minute service each to Aro Street and '(Brooklyn. There will be oxtra cars at '•rush" hours giving these points a car every five minutes, also special cars. Cars from Oriental Bay will branch off at the Bank of New- Zealand Corner and proceed along Customhouse Quay to opposite the Customhouse, thence via 'Wnitmore Street and Featherstqn 'Street to Lambton Station, and will return by the same route. The Wallace 'Street main service will be via Jervois Quay to the Post Office. ■'.-'■ ■'. The Constable Street-Jervois, Quay Wvice as such willjdisappear, but special trips will be' made over this route iduring busy hours From _ Kilbirnia 'Post Office standard ten minute services will be made through the tunnel and over Constable Street. In busy, hours these.services will he every five minutes. Island Bay and Berhampore is to have a service every ten minutes iill day/ Karori service will remain un. ihanged. Seatoun service will be forty 'minutes all day, except at five o clock, when extra oars will be provided. Miramar cars will he dispatched from Lamb, ton one minute earlier than usual. ■ The management hopes that the publio will become; accustomed 1 to the new services, .which are primarily designed for its convenience, and not be impatient if at first there is a little disturb* ance of. settled habits and arrangements. An endeavour has been made, ' notwithstanding exceptional difficulties caused by the war delaying the delivery of much-needed equipment, to give more cars on certain lines and to movo tho people more speedily and in greater mumbers. It is hoped that shortHlis'tance passengers to Newtown and Constable Street' will not crowd out longdistance travellers on the cars bound for Lyall Bay, but will select other cars bound'in the same direction for preference; . . \ , Another New Line. The Tramway Department _ is now keeking the necessary authority to extend the Waterloo Quay lino _ northwards as far as the intersection of Sunny Street. This, for the present, will be a single lvnu, and should prove a distinct convenience to; those who lise the harbour ferry service and who have business' in conneotion with ; tho shipping. that lies at the northernmost wharves. This' line will form part nf the track which one day will traversn ■Bunny Street, past the long-promised 'new railway station, and so on to •Lambton. Quay... As : ,this line will perforce have to cross the wharf railway lines, an arrangement with tho Railway authorities is necessary.
