THE PORT RAILWAY.
To the Editor,
Sib,—Believing the Dunedin and Bert Chalmers Railway to be public property, would it not be only a matter of fairness to study the public convenience in the running of trains ? For instance, if the down train at 1030 a.m. and the up train at 1.40 p.m. stopped at St. Leonards it would be a means of inducing many of the overs of property in the townships of Hastings and St. Leonards to build, and be an accommodation to many who at present are obliged to travel from Burke’s downwards and hurry back again to be in time ; whereas by stopping at St. Leonards everyone would be the better, and no one the worse. As the time occupied would not exceed one minute and a half, it may as well be spent on a side station as to pass by and stand idle for thirty minutes at the Dunedin station.—l am, etc., A Property Owner. Dunedin, April 2G.
