There are again complaints at the late running of the Greymouth-lloki-tika train service. For a lengthy period a praiseworthy effort was made to run successfully to time. It is very unsatisfactory that at the cold season of the year the train should bo running late.

The public at this cud are long suffering and have not harrassed the Department, hut it is time the authorities moved in entering a protest which at least will ho brought to the notice of headquarters and so result in better train running if not a better service, so long overdue.
