DAYLIGHT “LIMITED”
FEW, PASSENGERS ON FIRST RUN The north bound daylight Limited express, consisting of seven carriages (three first-class, three second-class, and one first and ’second class ladies’ car) made its first run from Thorndon yesterday morning. There is on this express accommodation for some 260 persons, but yesterday’s passengers totalled only 40. this no,doubt was due to the fact that most of the express traffic is south-bound at the present. timer A number of the expresses have been poorly patronised latelv,.and therefore it may be several days before an impression can be gained as to the popularity of the daylight Limited.
