RAILWAY BOOKING.
The Railway Department announces that, commencing on Monday, December 2, it will be possible for intending passengers to purchase their tickets and reserve seats or sleeping berths at any time prior to the commencement of their journey. Up to the present these preliminary travel arrangements could be made only during a restricted period- of 14 "days ahead of travel date. The new eystem will become effective during the period of the issue of Christmas and New Year holiday excursion tickets (see advertisement in this issue), and should prove a helpful factor towards eliminating the congestion inevitably associated with the handling of the heaviest holiday traffic of the year. The arrangement is being introduced as a trial measure, and its' permanent adoption is dependent on the extent to which it is used.
