For Railway Passengers Guidance.

SUMMARY OF THE NEW TIME TABLE. The alterations and amendments to the railway time table have reduced many a citizen to the state of John Jones, costermonger, some time of London, made illustrious by a song writer who sang of him thai; 1 "since Jack Jones came into a little bit of oof 'e dunno where e' aret" The experiences of varying time tables during the past three or four months have left dubious impressions in the minds of citizens, and quite a number have missed their passages through confusing last month's times with those of the present. No doubt there will be general appreciation felt for the subjoined summary of train times, which will be printed in "The Chronicle" from day to day, until familiarity cures the prosent doubtfulness with which residents in various localities are afflicted.

Some of the above trains will stop at intermediate stations, such, as Tokomaru, Ohau, Manakau, Te Horo, etc.; but there are some which do not. Residents should acquaint themselves with the trains which do stop at their partioular stations.

As previously mentioned, there are soveral wayside stations at which one or more of the above trains will stop whenever passengers desire to bo set down or taken up. Local residents may ascertain which are the trains which cater for their towns, and may then work out, from the above figures, the time which the train will take to travel from the station immediately preceding. The Auckland express reaches Palmerston, from the North, at 12.40 p.m. and arrives at Thorndon at 4.7 p.m. The Auckland express leaves Thorndon at 12.15 p.m. and reaches Palmerston at 3.35 p.m.
