For Railway Passengers Guidance.

THE LOCAL TIME TABLE

Sarching through a railway timetable makes moat people irritable. The railway table, like the polony, contains many good things, but the public prefer to have the one particular food (whether mental or alimentary) desired on a given occasion, not a botch potcli of figures concerning the branch line of Toko, the tfide track at Waggon villc, or the cross line to Nevermarch. The particular figures likely to be of benefit to dwellers between Paekakariki and Palmers!on North are what readers of The Horowhenua Chronicle need most, and for oui renders' convenience those are now appended:—

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

As previously mentioned, there arc several wayside stations which one or more of the above trains will stop whenever passen* gers desire to be 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 abore figures, the time which the train will take to travel from the station immediately preceding. The Auckland express reaches Palinerston 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. The extra Auckland express commenced Ist October.
