AUCKLAND EXPRESS
io tai EDITOR.
Sir, —Would it not be better* to have the permanent express leave Wellington, at, say, 1.45 instead of 12.45? Some' •advantages are: (1) .Mails would close later., (2) Train would arrive at Auckland after tramcafs start. (3) Passen-gers-would be able to have meals at reasonable time.- (4) Business men would have an hour longer in Wellington—the extra hour ih Auckland is useless. As it is customary to send a later train in holiday^ time, there does not seem to ' be any insuperable difficulty in making it, instead of the earlier one, a permanency.—l am, etc.,
IMPROVE.
Inquiries made ih responsible quarters show that the time originally fixed for the departure of the ~ WelHngtoiiAucklhritl express was decided upon."after careful consideration of all the requirements to lie met. Tlie hour of arrival, of the train at Auckland. 6.2S a.m., is only a short tirh'e before the trams commence running, and enables passengers to reach their homes or hotels and take up business after breakfast at the usual business hours.
