For Railway Passengers Guidance.

THE LOCAL TIME TABLE

Sarching' through timetable makes most iil|B irritable. The railway table,- like the polony, contains many good things, but the public prefer to have the one particular (whether mental or aliment desired on a given occasion, not a hotchpotch o£' figures concerning the branch line of Toko, the side track at Waggonville, or the cross line to Nevermarch. The particular figures likely to be of benefit to dwellers between Paekakariki and Palmerston North are what readers of Horowhenua Chronicle-need most, and for our readers' convenience those fi?"i\!B are now appended:—

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

As previously menti6«ed, there are several wayside stations at which one or more of the above trains will stop whenever passengers desire to be set down or taken u]3 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 reachei 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 8.35 p.m. The extra Auckland express commenced lgt October.
