PASSENGERS COMPLAIN.
LITTLE INFORMATION GIVEN,
(By Telegraph.—l'ress Association.)
WELLINGTON", Thursday. "Passengers were given only the vaguest of information about the delay or no information at all," said Mr. A. K. North, of Auckland, a passenger on the Limited express, who was travelling to Wellington to attend the annual meeting of the New Zealand Crippled Children Society. "Most of the passengers felt the delay was serious, and considered the Railway Department should have given more information."
Widespread heavy rain in the southern half of the North Island last niyht and again to-day dislocated railway traffic generally. The south-bound New Plymouth express, delayed by slips, reached Wellington two hours late, and delays occurred to other trains on the Manawatu and Wairarapa lines. Slips also occurred in the Manawatu Gorge.
