Mr W. K. MoAlpine, at the meeting of the Canterbury Progress League on Wednesday, complained of the daily overcrowding of the Arthur’s Pass train. Only three carriages were put on between Springfield and the Pass, he said, and the seating accommodation, especially for first-class passengers, was altogether inadequate, and many people, including women, had to stand. Another member said that on the previous day the accommodation sufficed for only half the people on the Pram. The remainder had to travel as best they could. The organiser was deputed to make enquiries and to endeavour to secure an improvement.
