THE LYTTELTON LINE.
TO THE EDITOR OP THE PRESS. Sir, —The letter in your issue of Friday,' written by Mr A. W. Bennett, I am sure, will commend itself to nil constanc travellera on the Lyttelton line, and I can fully bear out his statements with regard to the constant delays in the train service. There is one point to which I should like to direct the attention of the public, and that is the wretched lighting of the carriages; more especially do I refer to the first-cuss smoker. Often there is no light at all, or, if there is a light, it is just sutlioieut to make darkness visible wnen going through the tunnel. It may De said, why not appeal to the authorities instead of writing to the papers. My answer to that is, appeal to the authorities here is useless; they will not meet you in any way, but simply cum a deaf ear to any complaint so long as they can squeeze revenue out of a long-suffering public.—Yours, etc., Season Ticket. Christchurch, 13th March, 1896.
