«. TRAIN" SERVICES. The Minister for Railways, replying to Mr. Field in the Hou&e of Representatives this, afternoon, said: — The time-tafcle for the train (services over the Wellingtpn-Manawatu Railway Company's line will be to a' large extent dependent on the through services between Napier, New Plymouth, Auckland, and Wellington. These will be supplemented by local services, -which will be arranged to, as far as possible, meet the requirements of the different localities along the line, and I shall be glad to give any suggestions that are made by local bodies careful consideration, with a view to arranging as convenient a time-table as possible; but it must, of course, be borne in mind that in arranging train services the requirements of the whole of the districts to be served have to be provided for, and as the interests of the various localities frequently clash it is not possible to fix a time-table that will meet the .wishes of each, locality.
