THE TRAINS.
[To the Editor.] Sib, —In relation to the intended train alteration, it might interest your readers to learn the following: -—When in Napier about a month ago, a very reliable authority informed me that the Railway Department was hardly likely to continue the mid-day trains, as they were being run at a loss. Further, that they took traffic away from the other slow trains. The department will run no train at a loss, especially on a line where other trains run the same days. These extra trains were only an experiment for three months, but a further month’s running is to be made, persumably to allow time for the fullest investigation. lam afraid, however, that unless very good reasons and great pressure are brought to bear, the present additional service will soon be a thing of the past.—Yours, etc., Resident.
