WOODVILLE.
, -The ;'Woodvill6 i railway station at present u suffers from an insufficiency of platform ao> 5 commodation. There are frequently three a trains at. the stationat iihe one time, but it ir is stated that there is accommodation atthe;. r " main platform, for only.'two (trains.-. The re-i !»■ suit is.that.very often.passengers from tho 1 Wairarapa have to walk a hundred yards to. the station after detraining, while on other ° occasions they have to cross.over two or "i' three, lines of rails. The danger to,women'. *"■ and, children is considerable.. It has boon, * urged time and agam that every train should pull up opposite the platform. On Wednesday, {!■ owing to some brealiage;in the-points, this f was done, niuch to the satisfaction' of all * travellers. • It appears,. however,' that the s " change is only of.a temporary nature., 'What', <\ y. .really;is wanted at,Woodville is an "island" ,• station, as at Petono and Ngahauranga, so. '■} that trains ban pull in on either side.' ~;.■'.'.
