RAILWAY PROBLEMS.
We have advocated, says the "Taranaki Herald," that on certain lines, where it does not pay to run a fully equipped train with a locomotive, entailing the employment of driver and stoker, passenger cars, goods waggons, and guard's van, with a guard, it might well pay to run a motor coach, in charge of one man, with perhaps a trailer to carry luggage, parcels, and light goods. Such a service would be carried out at vastly less expense than an ordiary train, and would enable a fairly frequent passenger service to be maintained on the lines in question, while the heavy goods traffi c might be carried as circumstances demanded.
