DAYLIGHT LIMITED
WELLINGTON, Sept. 21
Confident that the results will justify the enterprise, the Railways Department has decided to begin the sum mer service of the Auckland-Welling-ton “"daylight limited” on September 30, each way. In previous years the extra express has not been put on until much later in the season, but the Department hopes, that this year’s innovation will prove so popular that it will be justified. This service means that Invercargill is brought within little more than forty hours from Auckland—a total run of about 1000 miles, including the Lyttelton-Wellington fc'erry . connection. Apart from the scenic aspects of the “daylight limited” this express has a far-reaching eco riomic importance to the whole Dominion. The saving of time for large numbers of business people in both islands—particularly the South .Island —has to be considered in relation to this new provision for public convenience.
