The Railways Department went to considerable pains to enable an invalid confined to a stretcher to make the long journey from Palmerston North to Auckland in the comfort of a sleeping car on the express which left Wellington on Thursday afternoon.

When the train reached Auckland yesterday morning the same procedure was necessary to get the patient out of the car.
