Railway Platform Tickets
Sir,—My small grand-daughters travelled from Hamilton to spend a holiday with me before the travel restrictions were imposed. I was able to procure a permit for her return journey, but I am now informed by the Railways Department that I will not be permitted to accompany her on to the platform to see her safely seated I lam neither permitled to take the child home nor even see her on to the train! One wouldn’t mind handing a grandson over to a “Redcap,” but a small girl is rather a different matter, and it is hard to understand the department’s refusal to issue a platform ticket on occasions such as this. What does one do now?—l am, etc., GRANDMOTHER. Wellington, February 9,
