TRAIN TRAVELLERS.
The people who board the trains waiting at station's, and occupy seats in the carriages whilst saying goodbye to friends who are passengers, are not unknown in the Dominion, especially in the centres. Not infrequently they convey to passengers looking for accommodation the idea that they are also passengers, and, failing t-o get seats, representations are made to the statiionmast'er, who, also misled by'the apparent fact that •all the carriages are full, gets additional' carriages put on, and the statiommaster'is feelings can be imagined when, just before the train starts, a fairly large crowd of people vacate their seats and get off the train. In Victoria the Railway Department has had the same trouble, and has taken steps to remove it. A person boarding a train and not travelling by it is liable, under the Victorian railway ■regulations, to a substantial fine.
